    These tarts were a hit at our holiday party! Everyone loved the buttery crust and the sweet, nutty filling.

  • Austyn Howe

    The crust was a little crumbly for me, but the taste was amazing. Next time, I'll try chilling the dough longer.

  • Spencer Roberts

    I added a pinch of salt to the filling, which really enhanced the flavors. Will definitely make these again!
