This is a hit at my house, whenever I can get around to making these!!!! They will knock your socks off!!!!
Toffee Tarts
Shells
· ¼ c brown sugar
· 2 c flour
· 1 c softened butter
· pinch of salt
Mix well and press ~ 1 tsp in the bottom of mini-muffin or mini-tart pan as thin as possible. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes (until starting to brown on edges). Cool for a minute in the pan then move to cooling racks. If you wanna go all homemade, definitely use this recipe - otherwise buy pre-made tart shells in the frozen section of your grocery store if you are in a rush...which I usually am!!!!)
Filling
· 5 boxes of Macintosh Toffee (or two bags of individual toffees - but then you have to unwrap each one - yeash!!!!)
· ½ c evap. Milk
· 1 tbsp butter
Melt down, stirring constantly over medium heat and fill tart shells – I use a turkey baster to do this – it makes life considerably easier than trying to use a spoon! Look out calories cause here they come!!! These are simply delish!!!!!

Macintosh Toffee comes in slabs sold in the chocolate bar isle of your grocery store!!! It is amazing ~ I am sure I have broken more than one tooth on it though over the years!!!!

Yum!
Isn't the downside of the turkey baster that you can't lick it the way you can a spoon? ;)
