1

Prepare the Tart Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in ½ cup of chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 2-3 tablespoons of ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2

Make the Treasure Filling

In a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Stir in ½ cup of chopped walnuts, ⅓ cup of shredded coconut, and ⅓ cup of mini chocolate chips. Set aside.

3

Prepare the Tart Shells

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled tart dough on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛-inch thickness. Cut out circles of dough using a round cookie cutter or a glass. Press the circles into a muffin tin, gently shaping them to form tart shells.

4

Fill & Bake the Tarts

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the treasure filling into each tart shell. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the tarts are golden brown and the filling is set. Allow them to cool slightly before gently removing from the muffin tin.
