* Pamela *'s Note:

After receiving these as part of a Christmas baking exchange I just had to have the recipe! These tarts are simple to make and so delicious.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 40 tarts

• 40 prepared tart shells (prepared or homemade)
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup margarine
• 4 tablespoons corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• pecan pieces
• 40 chocolate melting wafers, 1 for each tart

Directions:

1. Bake tart shells according to directions.
2. Break up pecan pieces and place a small amount in each tart shell.
3. *You can make the filling fill more tart shells if you use more pecans* Melt margarine in a saucepan and then add the rest of the ingredients.
4. Bring to a boil, stirring a few times with a whisk.
5. Let boil for 2 minutes.
6. While mixture is still hot fill tart shells and top with 1 chocolate melting wafer or a few chocolate chips. **or melt chocolate in a ziploc bag, cut off one end,and drizzle over tarts**.
7. Cool and enjoy!
8. These also freeze well. Place cooled tarts in a Tupperware container or a ziploc bag. (You can use wax paper to separate the layers if desired) Label and Freeze. To serve: remove tarts from container and let come to room temperature and then enjoy!

I have been making these tarts for years. Recipe is the same but I use butter instead of margarine and instead of a chocolate wafer I use a Rosebud. Delicious.

Wow! Mouth watering little delightfuls these are! You go back for more before you realize you are eating 2 or 3. I tried white chocolate to be different and they are just as tasty! The caramel filling is so easy to make and quite delicious! Love it! I'm glad I came across this recipe!
