Ingredients
- Store-Bought Tart Shells: 24
- Butter: 1/4 cup, melted & slightly cooled
- Brown Sugar: 1 cup
- Corn Syrup: 1/3 cup

Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and arrange the tart shells on two baking sheets.
- Mix: To a large bowl, combine and mix the melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and eggs with an electric hand mixer. Add the pecans and stir until fully incorporated.

Bake: Scoop the mixture into each tart shell 3/4 full and bake for 18-20 minutes until the crust is slightly golden. Cool completely before serving.
Notes
The tart shells stay in the tins while they bake to keep the structure of the tart shells.
Ensure the butter is slighty cooled before adding to the butter tart mixture to ensure that the eggs don't curdle (this can happen if the butter is hot) so usually it's the last thing I add before the pecans!
Fill the tart shells 3/4 full to ensure they don't spill while baking. 3/4 is the perfect amount for the perfect bite of shell and filling!
The butter tarts taste best at room temperature.
Consider toasting the pecans before mixing them into the filling.
