These are so yummy :o) My mom and I just made 12 doz. this week. I use this exact recipe. A couple of tips to make this easier. Use the silicone mini muffin pans. These come right out and do not stick. Also, we use a Pampered Chef tart shaper to make the dent in the center, works like a dream. This is our most requested Christmas cookie.

As with each and every recipe I've made from this site, must give these a '5'. I'd like to know why margarine vs. butter is used in this recipe. Will definitely be making these again, using butter. Thank you sooooo much for sharing this wonderful treat.

Getting ready to make these for third year in a row, My family insists on having them for Thanksgiving and christmas so I make about 60 in regular muffin pans and freeze 1/2 for Christmas. We generly have about 8 deserts and this is one of the first to go. The frozen ones are just as the fresh

Not sure if it was cook's error or the recipe, but the "crumbs" for the crust were very dry. I added a bit of water but this was not like regular press pie crust mixture. I am just using the crust for pumpkin filling. We'll see how they turn out after pre-baking.

I just used the shell.... I filled it with blueberry filling because thats what I had. It was good and everyone liked them, I just felt they had to much almond flavor. It over powered my oven while cooking. Still really good recipe just think I will use VANILLA instead of almond. Really just depends on what you like!

It was good but more difficult to make than I first thought out. I don't think I would make this again, although my boyfriend did enjoy this very much.

I borrowed a few tips from the Honey Crunch Pecan Pie recipe: the glazed pecan topping(butter, brown sugar, honey) which I topped the tarts with and baked for 5 min, and added a dash of bourbon to the filling. Always a hit!

I am confused. Most of the reviews talk about 24 tarts yet near the picture it says yield is 4 dozen? Well, I made them and got 48 awesome tarts from the recipe just as written. Delicious!!

My first time with pecan tarts. I should have realized when mixing the crust that the crust is more cookie-like than pie-crust-like. My crust was a little hard, probably due to over-baking. As mentioned by another reviewer, the ingredient list does not list 'pecan halves'. Fortunately, I had a bunch of pecans in the freezer and was able to select enough presentable halves. I used a twenty-four section mini-muffin pan and felt that my crust was a bit thick in places in the bottom. Had the crust been thinner, I would have had many more than twenty-four. I had at least half the filling left, so...? The taste of the crust and filling was very good. For those who try this recipe as first-timers, just be aware of the quantities/ratio of crust and filling.

Ah yes, my grandmother used to make these for family reunions. So delicious we even loved them as non-nut-loving children. My sister wanted to claim 2 for her own once which she did by secretly licking them. Turned out she had to give one up to our uncle, but we never told him......

To me, these were just "o.K." They were easy enough to make, but I thought the 'crust' was rather dry and tough. Not what I am looking for.......

Is this really a recipe for a mini muffin tin? I ended up having to scoop out a hole in the cooked tart dough to make room for some filling. It made WAY too much filling, so I think it must actually call for regular-sized muffin tins. Also, some information about how long to let the filling boil would help - my filling was very runny.

These were ok. Not exactly what I was hoping for. The "dough" tasted ok, but needs some improvements. The filling came out super sweet and hard. I like the tiny tart recipe on here a lot better for pecan tarts.

I think that the directions could be improved, and the end result is really a 3 or 4 star recipe. Be sure to grind the pecans for the filling if you prefer the soft/even consitency like store bought tarts. I cooked the filling over medium heat, and let it boil for about 30 seconds before taking it off the burner.
