Tropical Key Lime Pie Tarts

Here's another recipe using Duncan Hines products. I entered this one into the Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Spring Bake Contest. I created a sweet treat using one of Duncan Hines' new Frosting Creations limited-edition flavor mixes and one of Duncan Hines' cake mixes. For this recipe, I chose to use the Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Key Lime Pie Flavor Mix with the Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Yellow Cake Mix.
