Hi The Spiffy Cookie readers, I’m Christina from Mis-Cakes Oven Adventures.  My blog is all about sweet treats made from scratch.  I love cookiessprinkles and well, let’s just be honest pretty much anything with sugar and butter.  Erin is off enjoying the world so I thought I would bring you a treat from my part of the world.  A Canadian treat… with a twist.

I got this awesome idea of making my own peanut butter using honey roasted peanuts from Kevin and Amanda.  If you have a food processor you can make your own peanut butter.  Ingredients: Peanuts.  I have no idea what took me so long to do it but it’s fabulous!!!

So I made these honey roasted peanut butter and then I needed to do something with it.  I know Erin and I both love peanut butter so it was only natural to use this fancy peanut butter for my guest post. I thought Butter Tarts with honey roasted peanut butter… um YES.

These are fabulous and super easy.  I did make my own pie crust but you can totally use premade tart shells or cut a premade pie crust.  The top is slightly crunchy while the inside just melts in your mouth.  I added a sprinkle of sea salt on the top which just helps make the peanut butter flavor shine even more. These would be great with a drizzle of chocolate or a dusting of icing sugar.

Honey Roasted Peanut Butter Tarts Recipe – makes 12

1/4 c honey roasted peanut butter

1/3 c light corn syrup

1/4 c granulated sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

sea salt for sprinkling

1 single pie crust – I used my fav recipe here

To make honey roasted peanut butter

Place about 1/2-3/4 c of honey roasted peanut butter in your food processor.  Turn it on to med-high speed for about 4-5 minutes until smooth.  I scraped down the processor a couple times.  (Yes, that is it)

Tarts

Preheat oven to 400 F.  Place your oven rack in the second position above the bottom, one down from the middle.

In a large bowl add corn syrup, honey roasted peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and eggs.  Stir until well mixed and smooth.  Set aside.

Spray 12 muffin tins with non-stick spray. Take your favorite pie crust and cut 3 1/2 inch circles.  Push dough into the bottom of your muffin tins and about 1/3 up the sides.

Divide peanut butter mixture between  cups evenly.

Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the mixtures bubbles up and is browned.  The middle will sink as they cool.  Sprinkle with sea salt.

Place on a cooling rack to cool.  Serve warm or cold.  Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
