    My mom has been making Sharon's Tiny Teatime Tarts for decades. They are relatively easy to make and a great dessert to bring to your next potluck. This recipe is a bit labor intensive so be prepared. The results are well worth it though.

    These tiny teatime tarts can be used for dessert or with your morning coffee or tea. Over the years I've experimented with different types of fillings. I am only sharing my mom's original recipe at this time but will share more in the near future.

    If you are feeling adventurous, you can substitute the walnut raisin filling for something like a Chocolate Mousse or a Cheesecake Cream. So many options for these bite-size tarts. Soon I will post some of my favorite fillings.

    💭 Recipe Tip

    Don't you hate it when raisins get stuck together in a big clump? To unstick the raisins, wet your hands with a little water then work the raisins apart.

    🥜 Nut Allergies

    This recipe may contain peanuts or other nuts and seeds as one of its ingredients. Please take the appropriate precautions.

    If you are wanting to make a full-sized tart, you must try my Caramel Pecan Tart recipe. A hit during the Holidays.

      These little tarts are a great addition to your weekend morning coffee or tea. They are easy to make especially if you do it in two stages. I usually make the pastry one day and the filling the next. They are very addictive. Two thumbs up.
