Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Bake frozen crusts for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to rack and let pastry shells cool completely. Fill with 2 tsp (10 mL) pecans.

Caramel:
If using store-bought caramel, spoon caramel over pecans in crusts, filling crusts almost to top. Refrigerate until caramel begins to firm up slightly.

Place chocolate in a bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted. Drizzle melted chocolate over top of tartlets. Chill until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. Bring to room temperature before serving
