Instructions: Gem Cups: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut pastry into 24 circles using 2-1/2 inch round cookie cutter (rerolling scraps as necessary). Press circle in each cup of gem pans. (NOTE: Gem pans are miniature muffin pans.)

Return to saucepan; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in brandy. Pour into Gem Cups. Chill. Serve with whipped cream; sprinkle with remaining Nestle Toll House Little Bits semi-sweet chocolate.
