Sundaes in a Shell

2 tablespoons margarine or butter

1/2 cup finely chopped nuts

1 package (4 ounces) sweet baking chocolate or 4 squares (1 ounce each) semi-sweet chocolate

1 pint vanilla ice cream (2 cups)

Bake and cool pastry shells according to package directions.

In small saucepan over low heat, heat margarine. Add nuts and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add chocolate. Stir until smooth.

Place a scoop of ice cream in each pastry shell and place on 6 dessert plates. Spoon warm chocolate mixture over ice cream. (Chocolate mixture will harden making a "chocolate shell".)

Makes 6 servings

Tip: Sauce may be made ahead. Reheat over low heat before serving.
