For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. Feel free to add raisins, pecans, or walnuts to the filling for added texture and flavor. If the tart shells start to brown too quickly, you can tent them with foil during the last few minutes of baking. Store cooled butter tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
