Start with some tart shells. We had the pre-made minis and they were so fabulous. I am working on bringing you more from that brand. So stay tuned.

Combine soft butter (1/4 cup)
Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
Raisins (1/2 cup ) if you wish. I skipped raisins because personally I am not a fan.
Corn syrup (1/2 cup)
1 egg lightly beaten
Pinch of salt.
Blend all of it on medium with blender until creamy.

Spread tarts out on cookie sheet and fill


Perhaps that is a wee bit boastful, but my butter tarts last week were outrageous melt in your mouth delicious. And @downshifting_pos Margarita would agree. My daughter sent three home with her for her kids. Cook them for about 15 minutes at 375 at most. If you make own pastry you can make this a longer more drawn out affair and use a muffin tin to separate tarts. I have kids with short attention spans, so when we cook, we occasionally use some ready made items. Cheers and don't forget to link up. These were so yummy. It was our first time making butter tarts and they were lovely. Really couldn't stop eating them.
