Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Pre-made tart shells
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Corn syrup
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange the pre-made tart shells on a baking sheet or in a muffin tin for stability and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Gradually add the slightly cooled butter mixture into the egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the egg.
Stir in vanilla extract and salt to the mixture.
Add a few chocolate chips (about 1 tablespoon) to the bottom of each tart shell.
Pour the filling mixture into each tart shell, filling them about 2/3 full. Avoid overfilling as the mixture will bubble and expand during baking.
Sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top of the filling in each tart.
Carefully transfer the baking sheet or muffin tin to the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the gooey, chocolatey, buttery goodness!
