I always have a box or two of  yummy Walkers Shortbread on hand.  They are delicious with a cup of tea or to simply serve alone on a platter.  My kids love the Animal Shape Shortbread.  Walkers is known for the finest shortbread and family owned since 1898.  You can taste the quality in each buttery bite.   

What I love about these little shortbread tarts is how easy they are.  Desserts don’t always need to need to be fussy or complicated.  These are simple and delicious.  Perfect for a spring brunch, a picnic in the park or just because they are so good!
