For an extra layer of flavour, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
If you don't have walnuts, pecans or even almonds work well as a substitute.
Ensure your butter is properly softened for a smooth and lump-free filling.
For a richer taste, consider using a combination of butter and shortening in the pastry.

    The walnuts add a nice crunch to the tarts. I also tried adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, which was a great addition.
