Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your Turtle Tassies will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the Turtle Tassies until they are golden brown: The Turtle Tassies should be golden brown around the edges when they are done baking. If you insert a toothpick into the center of a Turtle Tassie and it comes out clean, they are done.
  • Let the Turtle Tassies cool completely before filling them: Let the Turtle Tassies cool completely before you fill them, otherwise the filling will melt.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can use a variety of toppings on your Turtle Tassies, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or caramel sauce.

Turtle Tassies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a shortbread crust, a creamy caramel filling, and a rich chocolate ganache.
