Creating small tarts with peanut butter and European Corinthian black raisins sounds like a delightful combination of flavors! Here's a simple recipe to guide you through making these tasty treats:

Ingredients:

For the tart shells:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1-2 tablespoons ice water

For the filling:

• Creamy peanut butter
• European Corinthian black raisins

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tart Shells:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar.
   • Add the chilled cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Add the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of ice water to the mixture. Mix until the dough starts to come together. If needed, add more ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball.
   • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing the cups or lining them with mini tart shells.

3. Shape the Tart Shells:

   • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
   • Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough slightly larger than the size of your mini muffin tin cups.
   • Gently press each dough circle into the mini muffin tin cups, ensuring they cover the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough if necessary.

4. Fill the Tart Shells:

   • Spoon a small amount of creamy peanut butter into each tart shell, filling them about halfway.
   • Place a few European Corinthian black raisins on top of the peanut butter in each tart shell.

5. Bake the Tarts:

   • Place the filled tart shells in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the tart shells are golden brown.

6. Cool and Serve:

   • Allow the tarts to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Once cooled, serve the peanut butter and European Corinthian black raisin tarts at room temperature.
   • Enjoy the delicious combination of sweet raisins and creamy peanut butter in every bite!

These small tarts make for a delightful snack or dessert, perfect for any occasion. Feel free to adjust the filling quantities to suit your taste preferences.
