Preparation

Crust:

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).

Combine flour with cocoa, sugar and salt in a food processor. Blend in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in eggs and blend to form a ball. Wrap tightly in plastic. Rest.

Roll dough out into a thin sheet. Cut into rounds and fill well buttered flexible muffin cups or a muffin tin lined with foil tart cups.

Filling:

Cream butter with sugar and vanilla. Beat in eggs and corn syrup. Spoon nuts into prepared tart shells. Divide filling among shells, not more than 2/3 full.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until filling is golden and bubbly.
