Mexican Chocolate Taco Pies

For taco shell pie "crust"
-You'll need package of round won ton skins, available at most grocery stores in refrigerated produce section - I used mini ones but you can use the larger egg roll size as well and cut into rounds (use a bowl, place upside down on skin and cut around with a knife).
-tent a small book with rounded spine and cover with foil.
-heat a teaspoon of butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat.  One at a time, lightly fry the skin until it starts to brown, turning over as soon as first side browns.  It will take less than a minute for them to be ready.  Once it is brown but still pliable, remove from heat and quickly place over foil covered book.  Use a paper towel to help mold over into "taco shape".  Let cool a few minutes and you are ready to fill.

For Filling
-honestly the easiest chocolate filling is a high quality pudding mix but we use Petit Pot Dark Chocolate Pot de Crèam.  You can either spoon it in or pipe it with a ziploc baggie.
-then top with whipped cream and shaved Mexican Chocolate.
