Try your favorite jam/jelly/preserves to top this. smile This has become a "family favorite" and I have used strawberry or raspberry jam for topping. However, the tarts are also yummy plain. smile It's a great, quick, and yummy dessert to make. In fact, IMO, it's just as good..or even better...than those fancy tarts you find in a bakery and or a "catered affair". smile

I made a bunch of these last year for a super bowl party. They were so easy to make and you have limitless possibilities for toppings! I made cherry and blueberry (using pie filling). They were a hit- they were gone in no time! Everyone raved about them. They are delicious and you can whip them up in no time- you probably already have most of the ingredients!
