    This Caramel Nut Tart Recipe is a great twist on the classic pecan pie and would be amazing with vanilla ice cream. I didn't have any but wish I did. It's caramelly, and dense full of delicious nuts. Is caramelly a word? With this tart, a little goes a long way, so it easily serves 12.

    Now, we used a food processor for my dough, but you can do the same with a pastry blender, it will just take a little longer. If you want a great deal on a food processor, check out these deals on Amazon.com!

    Gently press dough into a 9" tart pan, making sure the dough goes all the way up on the sides.

    Don't rush this as you're mixing cold with hot and the potential for a hard rock of candy is possible! Stir in butter and vanilla until butter is melted.
