This holiday season, I served up some pretty amazing treats for our family and friends. Many were new treats and even better, low in sugar. I had my family test out desserts for our holiday gathering. Can you believe they all chose the treat with the less amount of sugar? My Almond Raisin mini tarts were a huge success and i’ll be handing more out to ring in the new year! These mini tarts are a new holiday favorite!
My not so secret ingredient is using California Raisins because they are an all-natural, dried-by-the-sun fruit. It feels good to add this ingredients to my holiday treats and even better having my family feast on them.The ingredients alone show how simple and easy it is to make this treat and it’s evident that raisins were the star in this mini tart!

Then it’s time to enjoy. Consider giving these treats out it’s still the holiday season . These make a great start for change on sweets for the new year.
Remember California Raisins are naturally sweet. Their nutrition label tells a great story: zero fat, no cholesterol and no added sugar. Plus, raisins offer 9% of your daily fiber and potassium, and 6% of your daily iron (per quarter cup serving).
