Both of my parents are from Central PA and every Christmas our family tradition was for my mother to make Sand Tarts and for us to decorate them. The decorating would become quite elaborate as we got older. My sisters and I have continued the tradition and still make Sands Tarts every Christmas, now for our kids to decorate.
last week i made this recipe and when I finished baking them – I brought to my mum some – I thought she was going to cry! She was so thrilled and you could tell it brought back so many memories for her. TOO COOL!
