My husband and I went to a carnival and bought pecan tarts and loved them so I sought out a similar recipe and tried it. He actually loved this recipe better. It was very easy and he's happy.

I was trying to find a recipe close to my deceased Aunt's, and this is it! Hers did have a homemade crust on it, but that's even better for me...less work!! :o) My brothers raved about it, just like they remembered. Thanks for sharing!!

These were pretty good. The filling was too much for 8 tarts, however. I filled mine almost to the top of the shells and they boiled over in the oven. Next time I will fill shells 3/4 full - maybe making 10 - 12 tarts.

THESE are a little too sweet. they puffed up when i pulled them out of the oven but deflated after a minute. like any other tart recipe, i made a variety - pecans, walnuts with choco chips, raisins, and cereal. what i do is i just add a tablespoon or more of the choices in the molded crust, mix the filling then pour it over the "variety" and crust. i didn't double the recipe and made 24 regular cupcake sizes. (by the way, i don't roll the dough. i divide it by 2. take one and divide it by 4, then divide those by 3s. repeat for the other one, and ask help from my 5 year old daughter to mold the doughs :D).

I made these in a mini muffin pan as suggested by another reviewer - they came out well, however I had a lot of trouble with the crusts. I used pre-made pie crusts and used a wide coffee cup to cut out circles. They fit into the tin prefectly, but when I put them in the oven to brown them slightly before putting in the pie filling the crusts shrunk a lot! Just thought I would add as a caution for the next cook that is still learning!

Really good! I used store purchased pie crust and used mini-muffin tins. Be careful not to overfill- they expand as they cook. You can also had a handful of chocolate chips if you wish to the batter before you put into the muffin tins. Yummy....chocolate pecan pie :)

Everyone liked these tarts. I thought they were a little sweet but the nuts balance that. This recipe made 36 mini tarts using pre-made tart shells. I doubled the recipe because it said it yielded 8 and the photo shows mini-tarts, so I had enough for 36 mini tarts and a pecan pie!!

First skeptical about this recipe's claims, turned out being very, very pleased. A super quick, fuss-free preparation when paired with pre-made pie/tart shells that is perfect for surprise company. Added extra pecans as previously recommended...very regal results! Made it to one of my favorite recipes!

This was a great recipe - I used the frozen, pre-made tarts since I'm really not a pastry person, and they turned out wonderfully! Using the regular-sized frozen shells, this recipe made 13 tarts. I served them with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream on top to counter the uber-sugaryness of the tarts.

These were great! I prepared the recipe exactly as indicated but used the small, mini-tin to make them bite size! Delicious! Will make these again!
