Make treats for your sweets with an easy raspberry tarts recipe. These shortbread-like tarts will warm your loved ones’ hearts this Valentine’s day. The raspberry bites are great any time of year, but don’t forget that day of love is this week.
That means kids, family, friends, and significant others – we will even include our pets – everyone you love get treats.
The buttery crunch of the tart combined with the smooth, fruity center of the preserves is a delicious combo that’s not overly sweet. This raspberry tarts recipe makes mini muffin sized tarts.
A food processor is ideal, but you can also use a pastry blender and some elbow grease to make the dough. Either way gets you the same scrumptious bites; one way just takes a little longer.
If you’re on a string of snow days like we are, this is the perfect recipe to try. Try different flavors of preserves and fillings, too. Get the kids involved and have fun with it.
This easy raspberry tarts recipe is something you’ll want to make for Easter brunch, spring gatherings, Mother’s day, baby and bridal showers, and all the holidays.

I am going to bookmark this recipe for raspberry tarts. I think this would make a lovely treat to serve my mom and grandma on Mother's Day next month. If it is a success to them we may try to make mango tarts. My grandma has a mango tree and my aunt likes to use the mangoes to make jam.
