I had a hard time finding pecan halves, so I used chopped pecans instead. They still turned out great!

The crust is a little too crumbly for my taste, but the filling is amazing.

These caramel pecan tarts are absolutely delicious! The filling is rich and creamy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. The pecans add a nice crunch and texture. The crust is flaky and buttery. I highly recommend this recipe!
