Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar.
- Cut the butter into small cubes and mix it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a tart pan to form the crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and maple syrup. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture starts to simmer.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.

- Stir in the chopped milk chocolate and pecans until combined.
- Pour the filling mixture onto the prepared tart crust.
- Spread it evenly to ensure the pecans and chocolate are distributed throughout.
- Place the tart in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
- Allow the tart to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious Pecan & Chocolate Tart!
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold when you start, as this helps create a flaky crust.
