Even my boyfriend who isn't crazy about baking liked these. I only had enough butter for the filling and used margerine for the crust. It turned out great! It didn't fall apart at all.

The buttertart part tasted good but the crust was very bland and the squares were really gooey.

I made two batches (one with raisins, one without) and both were way too sticky to cut and remove from the pan. I tried baking them an extra 10 minutes, let them thoroughly cool and tried again with a tad more success. Tasted good but I had to use them as ice cream topping, not squares.

YUM! I doubled the recipe because hubby loves butter tarts and I just didn't have the time to make them today. It doubles very well (in a 9 x 13 pan)! I used a little smash of cinnamon in the crust and rum extract instead of vanilla in the filling. I might try maple extract next time. Overall, an excellent square!

I followed the directions given to the T, however, I am disappointed to say that the recipe didn't turn out. The filling didn't set and was definitely too sweet. The shortbread pastry was O.K., but a little underdone. I think I'll stick to the butter tart recipe instead.

These were great, I added a little salt to the pastry, and added a little rum extract to the raisans and let them soak in 1/2 cup of water for 1/2hour.

Not a bad recipe, however the crust was rather bland and needed more filling.

I don't know if I did something wrong, but the crust was overwhelmingly bland to me and too thick. The topping was fine, but I didn't really feel like it was less time consuming than making butter tarts using premade crusts. I won't make this again.

Great square! I just added it to my traditional list of Christmas baking. It was fast and easy to do and if you refrigerate it for an hour or so you can cut it real nice into 1" squares. I like to make treats like these bite size so you can try several different ones from a cake & cookie platter. Thanks for sharing.

These were better than actual butter tarts! The top layer is just the right texture to hold together and yet be a bit liquid enough to leave a drizzle down your chin while you eat them.

Quick and easy, not too runny like others I have made. My family doesn't like raisins, so I used 3/4 c. chopped walnuts instead. great recipe!
