Cook Time

0 hr 45 min

Servings

Ingredients

2 pkgs Pillsbury Original Crescents

2 eggs

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup corn syrup

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

8 chocolate, pecan turtles

¼ cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

Heat oven to 325 degrees F

On floured surface, remove half of crescent dough from package and unroll without separating the 2 triangle crescents. Pinch the seam between the two triangles closed to form one solid rectangle.

Fold rectangle in half and roll out to form a 5"x 5" square. Place square in muffin pan.

Repeat with remaining crescents. Should make 8 tart forms. At this point, you can trim the excess dough from around the edges, (if you wish).

In a medium bowl, beat eggs. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup and butter.

In each tart, place one chocolate pecan turtle and cover with filling until tart is ¾ full. Do not overfill or filling will bubble over while cooking. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Bake tarts for 20 - 25 minutes, until pastry is golden brown and the middle of the tarts are set. Remove from oven and cool completely.
