Season's Greetings
One of my ALL TIME favorite treats during the holiday season are homemade butter tarts! I absolutely love them and have since I was a little kid. My grandma used to make them when I was younger and I remember I used to get so excited about going over to her house on Christmas Eve because I always knew there would be turkey, baked ham and plenty of butter tarts!This is definitely not a low-cal recipe and to be honest I wouldn't even want to know how many calories each one of these little pieces of heaven have packed in them! It's the holiday season though and new years is right around the corner so indulge a little bit and enjoy this favorite holiday treat of mine!Grandma's Homemade Butter Tarts
