This is the perfect hor dourves for a holiday gathering. You can make the filling and bake the puff pastry a day before, then assemble the tartlettes before serving. Ingredients:

2 tbs cranberry sauce (i use wild thyme cranberry raspberry) |
3 tbs chopped dried cranberries |
2 1/2 tbs cream cheese |

Directions:
1. FOR SHELLS:
2. If using pastry sheets, you need to make shells.

12. Add about a teaspoon of filling (or whatever fits) into the shells and serve.
