HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Chocolate Pecan Tarts are not particularly healthy, they do offer some nutritional benefits.
Pecans are a good source of healthy fats, protein and fiber, while dark chocolate contains antioxidants that can help protect against heart disease. However, these benefits are outweighed by the high sugar and fat content of the tarts.
