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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Arrange the pre-made tart shells on a baking sheet or in a muffin tin for stability and set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 2 minutes.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Gradually add the slightly cooled butter mixture into the egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the egg.

Step 6

Stir in vanilla extract and salt to the mixture.

Step 7

Add a few chocolate chips (about 1 tablespoon) to the bottom of each tart shell.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top of the filling in each tart.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the gooey, chocolatey, buttery goodness!
