You’re going to love these peanut butter mini tarts, topped with whipped cream, a rolo on top and made with Tenderflake® Mini Tart Shells resulting in flaky and delicious mini morsels. These will be your next favorite dessert! But guess what? You can use Tenderflake’s regular tart shells or the mini tar shells I ended up using here, which I totally adore, cuteness overload! You have choices, people!

Guess what else? They’re so easy to use, all you have to do is bake them for 10 minutes and then you can fill them with your favorite fillings. Seriously, the possibilities are endless! I’ve been using Tenderflake® for years now, actually at the risk of revealing my age, even decades. I love all their products, because I know I’ll always end up with something delicious.

I have to tell you that I’m pretty much obsessed with mini desserts, like mini cheesecakes or these peanut butter tart shells. What’s not to love about a sinful bite of buttery, rich, and sweet dessert. These tart shells are perfect for when you’re pressed for time, and let’s face we’re pretty much always pressed for time. It’ll take you 5 minutes to make the peanut butter filling and pipe it into these mini tart shells. You don’t even need a piping bag, I just used a ziploc bag, or you don’t even have to bother with that, just spoon the filling into these babies.

To make these morsels even more sinful I topped them with a bit more whipped cream and then a giant rolo on top, cause that’s just how I roll. They’re buttery, creamy, flaky thanks to the tart shells, so good you won’t be able to stop at just one. I know I didn’t! They’re blow your mind, kind of good.

When peanut butter, cream cheese, flaky tart shells, rolos and creamy goodness coincide, you're going to end up with these indulgent peanut butter mini tarts.

      I find them at Sobey’s in Canada. It’s a Canadian brand but you might be able to find them on amazon.
