How To Make Easy Mini Pecan Tarts

First, gather all your ingredients.

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed according to package directions
2 & 1/2 teaspoons confectioners’ sugar

Preheat the oven to 400°F degrees.

Stir the brown sugar, butter and pecans in a small bowl.

Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Roll the pastry into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle.

Cut the rectangle into 20 (3-inch) squares.

Press the squares into the bottoms of 20 (3-inch) muffin-pan cups.

Place 1 heaping teaspoon pecan mixture in the center of each cup.

Bake the pastries for 12 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Remove the pastries from the pans and let cool on a wire rack.

Sprinkle the pastries with confectioners’ sugar, if desired.

Tips & Tricks

I love using Wilton baking pans. I feel like they are the best quality pans out there for the price. They don’t rust, are durable, and easy to clean. For muffins or cupcakes, I love using the 24 count muffin tin. It is so awesome! I love how you only need to use the oven once instead of twice with a 12 count muffin tin. My time is precious to me, as it probably is for you too, so saving time in the kitchen is key. I found all my Wilton baking essentials at my favorite store, TARGET!
For all-purpose flour I love using Bob’s Red Mill® Gluten Free Baking Flour. I first fell in love with this brand when I started eating healthy back in 2012, shortly after our twins were born. I first tried their Steel Cut Oats. Then when I had more time to bake I started using a lot of their other products such as, Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, Gluten Free Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Pastry Flour, Bread Flour, and Xanthan Gum. They have so much more too! Baking mixes, Oats, Bars, Cereal, Granola, Grains, Beans, Seeds, Baking Aids, and more Flours! Seriously go check them out. Best quality baking products out there and no I am not getting paid to say this, I just love their products that much!
Since I bake quite often I like to buy stuff in bulk. I love buying my flour, sugars, pure vanilla extract, butter, oil, eggs, and spices at Costco.
Costco, Target, & Amazon are my favorite stores to shop at!
