SUBMITTED BY:
Carol Kronick
"This is a great treat that is a small twist on pecan or walnut pie. Included in the recipe is butter, brown sugars, spices, coconut and walnuts. These are in great demand every year from my family and friends."

DIRECTIONS
Roll pie dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out circles of dough to fit cups of standard muffin tin. Gently place into muffin cups.
In a saucepan, melt butter and margarine over low heat just until melted. Stir in brown sugar, coconut, spices, nuts, salt, eggs, lemon juice, and corn syrup. Mix well. Fill prepared muffin cups halfway with this mixture.

These were quite tasty. I used pecans instead of walnuts and I used frozen tart shells. Next time I would omit the nutmeg but that is just a personal preference. I also cooked them for closer to 20 mins. Again a personal preference as I don't like runny tarts, the longer cooking time makes them more chewy.

I used pecans and raisins instead of coconut and walnuts. Excellent butter tarts, great rich buttery taste, best ever! This year 2006 I made just with pecans and made mini tarts, I got 42 out of the recipe.

Excellent! I've also tried changing the recipe a little by omitting the coconut and using 1 cup of chopped almonds rather than walnuts and it was delicious, too.

Okay. These are awesome. I don't see how one 9-inch crust does it though. I used Allready pie crusts and even using two, I could only make 20 tarts. I only had enough filling for 20 as well. I baked in two batches and added more walnuts to the filling before baking the second batch. Let them cool before trying to get out of the muffin tins! They are addictive!! I also used all butter since I had no margarine and so the calorie count was probably well into the 4 digits. Deeeeelicious!

This was a wonderful recipe. I don't usually care for butter tarts but these were fantastic. They were the first treat to go at Christmas. The only change I made to the recipe was I used pecans instead of walnuts.

These are the best butter tarts! When you are not a raisin fan butter tarts can be a put off. I used pecans and all butter (no margarine) I have used this recipe for the past couple x-mas's. YUM PS I buy the frozen tart shells to make my life a little easier!

This recipe was pretty good. I didn't find it hard to make either, especially since I cheated and used pre-maid tarts. The only things I did differently was use 1/2 cup of butter and added a little Canola Oil in place of the margerine since I didn't have any. Since I had 30 tarts, I added some with chocolate chips, and some with raisins, and the rest I left plain. I also used Pecan's instead of walnuts because I don't like the taste of walnuts. I think that I didn't crush the pecans enough and then I added to many which took away from the gooyness of them but they still tasted really great! I will definatly use this easy recipe again, with less of the nuts!

This recipe was really good, although next time I'll probably do it with the raisins and pecans.
