Caramel Tarts that taste sweet and look sweet too!
Don’t they look gorgeous?! You will find, as I found,that one just isn’t enough. When I first made these a couple of years ago, I ate half all of them! Don’t judge me…. These are dangerous. But a little danger in your life is good. If you are worried about eating half all of these cute little tarts, make them for a dinner party or a special occasion where there will be plenty of guests to eat them!
I made the base of mine with ready made, bought sweet pastry to make them really simple and quick. You can of course make your own sweet pastry if you prefer and have the time to do so. The caramel is very similar to my Caramel Filling which is a rich, buttery and sweet. So good!
To finish them off, I place chocolate button or a few chocolate chips in the centre of each one. This is mostly for aesthetic purposes so you can omit if you prefer no chocolate in these.
