Would make this again.
This is a quick and easy recipe! Took them to the Family Thanksgiving gathering and everyone loved them. I split the recipe up and used rum in the second batch I made (in the filling). They were delish!

Would not make this again.
I tried making these twice unsuccessfully for a cookie exchange. Filling overflowed and I could not take the tarts out of the mini-muffin tin without mangling them. Filling was good though.

Deeeeelicious! Very easy to make, not a lot of ingredients and very easy clean up. I love that it makes two dozen in a single batch/bake; I used a 24 count mini muffin tin. I sent some out of town to friends and was told they traveled very well. I'm also taking 6 dozen to a cookie swap. Thanks for sharing!
