Strawberry Tartlets

I'm such a big fan of holiday parties.  I love seeing everyone in their Christmas sweaters, I love the beautiful and colorful decorations that adorn the homes of friends and I LOVE Christmas party food.   Ben and I have been fortunate enough to be invited to some of the most wonderful parties with the most incredible party food this year.  Don't get me wrong - the parties are more about spending time with family and friends than it is about the food but the large displays of Christmas delicacies makes the party (and the season) even sweeter.

​Anyone else wish that they could literally eat one of everything on the table when they go to a Christmas party?  I'm the girl who piles her plate so high that I have to use 2 hands to keep the food from falling off onto the floor.  I may take only one bite of each but I feel like I've failed if I don't at least taste everything on the table. LOL

With that being said - I've tried to downsize my Christmas treats this year.  I'm making everything bite sized so that fellow over-achieving eaters like myself can sample more food.  These Strawberry Tartlets really pack a punch into one little bite.

Downsizing this recipe to make bite size treats was a great idea.  (Until I realized that I had popped 3 of these little treats into my mouth without a second thought.)  LOL.  I do love the red and green combination on these little tartlets for Christmas but I think I want to try it with raspberries or blueberries this summer.  These little tartlets would make a great little treat - any time of year.  

​Ciao!
