These little tarts remind me just enough of a chess pie to hit that caramel-y flavor I love, but with way less baking time and a super simple ingredient list. This is a great recipe to get your kids in the kitchen! They can help stir up the filling, crack eggs, cut out the pie circles, and, of course, eat! These are a great treat to bring to parties or family gatherings, and your little ones will be so proud to tell everyone they helped make this delicious snack.

Dollop on some whipped cream, and everyone will think these are bakery quality butter tarts!
