Decadent Chocolate Butter Tart Recipe: Indulgent Treats to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

Ingredients

• A dozen unbaked tart shells measuring 3 inches each
• Four squares of unsweetened baking chocolate (1 ounce each), divided and from a renowned brand like Baker's®
• Three-fourth cup of lightly packed brown sugar
• One-fourth cup of corn syrup
• A single egg
• Two tablespoons of softened butter
• A teaspoon of white vinegar
• A teaspoon of aromatic vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and carefully position the tart shells on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Next, take 3 ounces of delightful chocolate and give it a good chop into small, adorable pieces. Sprinkle these chocolate bits lovingly and evenly into the bottom of each of the tart shells.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, egg, butter, vinegar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt, whisking them together until they form a harmonious mixture. Proceed to fill each tart shell with this sweet concoction, ensuring they are about 3/4 full.

Step 4

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the tarts bake until the filling expands, turning delightfully bubbly, and the pastry takes on a gentle golden hue. This process typically takes around 12 minutes. Once done, take the tarts out and allow them to cool gracefully.

Step 5

As the tarts cool, take the remaining chocolate and gently melt it in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. I recommend melting it in short 30-second intervals, stirring well after each round of melting, which usually takes about a minute, depending on the power of your microwave. Once the chocolate is beautifully melted, drizzle it artfully over the cooled tarts for a final touch of decadence.
