Butter Tart Slice

December 12, 2016 by Barb 3 Comments

This Butter Tart Slice is an amazing alternative to making individual butter tarts and I highly recommend trying it.

A quick and easy recipe that comes in handy when you’re having company for the weekend, and is especially great for Christmas. It’s a real favourite at our house!

I just made this one to take to our daughter’s for Christmas because it’s a great make-ahead and freezes beautifully. I could hardly stop myself from nibbling those yummy chewy edges before I wrapped it up and put it in the freezer, but no, I sipped that tea all by itself :)Butter Tart Slice, Keeping With the Times

So here you are … you can thank me later :)

    Made this today. Could not find currants (I’m assuming they’re a dried fruit after consulting others in the grocery story..haha) so I substituted dried cranberries. Turned out I liked it and since not sure how it would have been with the currants I hope it would be the same taste. I don’t like raisins at all so I didn’t add any of those. I ate one piece and then froze the rest and will see how family likes it over the holiday get together. Thanks again for sharing. :)

      I’m so glad you tried the butter tart slice … our family loves it and I sure hope yours does too! Good idea to substitute the dried cranberries! if you don’t like raisins, I doubt you would like currants ;)

      I hope you have a very merry Christmas and all the best to you and yours in 2017!
