1 teaspoon

  4. Combine 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/3 cup butter and corn syrup in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 4-5 minutes or until mixture just comes to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in nuts.
  5. Spoon 1 level teaspoon filling mixture into each crust. (Do not over fill.) Bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven; cool in pan 5 minutes. Run sharp knife around outside of crusts to loosen tarts. Remove tarts from pans; cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Recipe Tips

- Reheat filling over low heat, if filling becomes thick between baking batches of tartlets. (Do not allow filling to boil when reheating.)

- Measure each mini muffin cup. If each hold less than 2 tablespoons water, the yield will increase to 42 tartlets.

I only got to eat one because when I went back for seconds they were gone. My family has already requested them again and I am sure they will become a holiday staple.
