Pecan Tarts image

The flaky crust combined with a rich center makes these little tarts a satisfying snack to serve and eat. They look so appealing on a pretty platter and make a great finger-food dessert when you're entertaining. They also freeze well. -Jean Rhodes, Tignall, Georgia

I've tried several different pecan tart recipes and this is by far the best. The filling is perfectly balanced and the crust is flaky and delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of pecans, but I still really enjoyed these tarts. The filling is so rich and flavorful that it makes up for the fact that I'm not a big fan of pecans.

These tarts are a great way to use up leftover pie crust. I always have a few extra pie crusts in my freezer, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them up.
