From the town of Trier in southwestern Germany, these lattice-topped bars are like elegant little spiced raisin and almond pies.
You can use mini (1-1/4- x 3/4-inch/3 x 2 cm) muffin cups instead of fluted tart pans if you prefer.
Decorate these with Cookie Glaze for Mittens or Royal Icing for Cookies, if you like, and sprinkle with candies, sugar crystals or sprinkles.
These lovely tartlets are divine, with the scent and delicious flavour of truffle oil. Of course, specks of grated black truffle would be even lovelier, but truffle oil is a flavourful ingredient that doesn't break the bank. And, like truffles, a little goes a long way. Look for it at large grocery chains or gourmet shops. If unavailable, the tartlets are still delicious without it.
