Love the recipe! Make sure you put the crust in the cups very thin or you lose the taste of the pecans.

I followed the recipe to a "T" when making the crusts, but the dough was FAR too dry. I added a a tablespoon more margarine, but the end result was crumbly tart crusts- they were TOO crumbly. I loved the filling! I will search the site for another suggestion for the shells though.

I just made these and had a horrible time with the tart portion. It was incredibly dry though I followed recipe exactly. It was hard to form them into the muffin tin. They aren't pretty enough to serve to guests though they taste wonderful.

It was a great recipe. There is a lot of leftover syrup. Perhaps I should deepen the pocket in the dough to accommodate more syrup. I used a wooden, rounded pestle that was perfect for shaping the dough up the sides of the pan.

I just wanted to say that my mom and I have been making these for years, but we use the pre-cooked mini phyllo cup found in the refrigerated section of our grocery store instead of the crust. It makes it super easy and fast!

I had been looking for a recipe for pecan tarts forever & finally found this one. I made a bunch of them for my husband to take to work with him for snacks. He is loving those snacks.

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.

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!
