Little Tarts

Holiday season arrived, and with it many parties and large scale dinners.
For those of you that have to entertain a large crowd, I am sure any short cuts are much appreciated.
The dessert table can be challenging for those who don't do a lot of baking.
These tarts are extremely easy to make and can be made weeks ahead and frozen.
I used store bought tart shells and canned pumpkin puree, two time savers right there.
This recipe makes about 5 dozen tarts. The filling can also be used for pumpkin pie. Simply pour it into an unbaked crust.
You can scale the recipe down to suit your needs.

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients except the tart shells. Mix well.

Cheers!
