I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tarts turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These tarts are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still really good. I would recommend using a little less sugar in the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of pecan pie, but these tarts were really good! The crust was perfect and the filling was just the right amount of sweetness.

I made these tarts for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the filling. They were a bit too sweet for my taste.
