These are my favorite pecan tarts! I made them before here. They are great to make and store in the freezer until you need em!

Heres the recipe again!

Decadent Mini Pecan Tarts

  • 20-24 Tart Shells – If frozen, take out of the freezer before you begin for about 5-10 mins
  • chopped pecans
  • pecan halves – one for each tart
  • Semi Sweet Chocolate – broken up into small chunks (Bakers secret or any other rich chocolate)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  2. Place tart shells on baking sheet – about 20-24 on a large baking sheet
  3. In the bottom of each tart, add 1 tablespoon (or more) chocolate chunks and 1 tablespoon + chopped pecans, then place a pecan half on top of each.
  4. In a mixing bowl:-whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla. Pour the filling over the pecans, just until it almost reaches the top of the sides of the tarts.
