Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl.
- Beat shortening, sugars, and butter with a mixer on high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add egg, and beat until mixture is pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce speed to low. Mix in flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with milk and vanilla, beginning and ending with flour.
- Drop mounds of dough (about 2 teaspoons each) onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing each 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies spring back when lightly touched with a finger, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets set on wire racks for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks, and let cool completely.
- Transfer whipped ganache to a disposable pastry bag, and snip a 1/2-inch opening. Pipe ganache (2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons each) onto flat sides of half the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing gently.

SUPER SIMPLE MINI CHOCOLATE BANANA CREAM PIES
This is a nice simple recipe that is quick to put together and very tasty. They are extremely fast to make if you microwave the filling. Time does not include cooling period. Note: I use "Cook & Serve" pudding for this recipe as I feel that it has a better taste and texture then instant. If you chose to use instant pudding, please make sure to follow the package directions.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
- In small bowl, mix Crust ingredients. Divide mixture among cups. Using fingertips, firmly press in bottom of each cup, making sure crumbs are firmly packed.
- In large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in vanilla and liqueur. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until well blended. Pour in the cooled (but still pourable) melted chocolate, and beat until there are no more streaks and batter looks chocolaty. Add Bisquick mix, and beat until incorporated. Pour in milk, and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Divide batter evenly among cups (cups will be almost full).
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until centers are firm. Cool 15 minutes (cheesecake centers will sink while cooling). Refrigerate in pan at least 45 minutes.
- In chilled small bowl, beat whipping cream on medium speed 30 seconds; gradually increase speed to high, and beat until stiff peaks form. During last minute, beat in powdered sugar. Remove 3/4 cup of the whipped cream, and place in bowl; set aside. Add all but 2 tablespoons (reserve for drizzling) of the melted chocolate to the remaining whipped cream, and beat until there are no more chocolate streaks.
- Remove cheesecakes from refrigerator and, using butter knife, gently pop them out of pan. Carefully remove wrappers, and top each chilled cheesecake with large dollop of chocolate cream and then a little dollop of whipped cream. Just before serving, garnish with chopped candy bars and a drizzle of melted chocolate. Serve chilled.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the process.
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will make a big difference in the final product. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 60%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
- Temper Your Chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process that helps to stabilize it and give it a smooth, glossy finish. It's not essential, but it will make your pies look and taste more professional.
- Chill Your Pie Crusts: Chilling your pie crusts before baking will help to prevent them from shrinking and becoming too tough. You can chill them for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Don't Overfill Your Pie Crusts: When filling your pie crusts, be sure not to overfill them. This will help to prevent the filling from bubbling over and making a mess.
- Bake Your Pies at the Right Temperature: The temperature at which you bake your pies will affect the final texture. For a crispy crust, bake your pies at a high temperature (375°F or higher). For a more tender crust, bake your pies at a lower temperature (325°F or lower).
- Let Your Pies Cool Completely: Once your pies are baked, let them cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
Conclusion:
Mini chocolate pies are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for any occasion, from a simple family dinner to a special holiday gathering.
