Tips:

  • For a richer caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can broil the tarts for a few minutes until the tops are golden brown.
  • Be careful not to overbake the tarts, as they will continue to cook after they are removed from the oven.
  • Let the tarts cool completely before serving, as they will be very hot when they first come out of the oven.
  • These tarts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
