Personal Notes:
I used real butter rather than margarine for this recipe. I added sour cream and chocolate to half of the tarts and left the other half plain. However, the tarts with the sour cream were by far the best! The sour cream helps balance the sweetness. This recipe is perfect around fall and winter holidays.
