Product-Info

  • Are the butter tarts available in different flavours?

  • Are your butter tarts made with corn syrup?

    No — our butter tarts are made with real butter and pure maple syrup, never corn syrup. Each tart is baked from scratch in small batches for the perfect texture and flavour.

  • Are your desserts nut-free?

    No — our products are not nut-free. While some desserts do not contain nuts as an ingredient, they are made in the same facility as products containing nuts. Cross-contamination is possible, so we do not recommend our products for customers with severe nut allergies.

  • Can I remove the butter tarts from the tin?

    Yes. Once at room temperature, the butter tarts can be gently removed from the tin. Many customers also enjoy reheating and serving them directly in the tin.

  • Can the 4-Box Deal have different varieties in each box?

    No — the 4-Box Deal cannot have different flavours in each individual box. You can choose up to 3 flavours total, and we will evenly divide those flavours across all four boxes. If you’d like each box to have its own unique set of 3 flavours, please add each box to your cart separately instead o...

  • Do the butter tarts contain nuts?

    Some butter tarts contain nuts, such as pecans. Please check flavour descriptions carefully if you have allergies.

  • Do you make gluten-free desserts?

    At this time, we do not offer gluten-free products. All of our desserts contain wheat, dairy, and eggs. If you have specific dietary needs, please review each product's ingredient list carefully before ordering.

  • Do you make vegan desserts?

    No — all of our products contain butter and eggs, so they are not suitable for a vegan diet.

  • Do you offer seasonal butter tart flavours?

    Absolutely. Seasonal favourites like Pumpkin Spice, Cinnamon Bun, Apple Pie, and Raspberry White Chocolate are offered alongside year-round classics.

  • Do your desserts contain preservatives?

    No — we bake everything from scratch in small batches without added preservatives. We recommend enjoying your treats promptly or storing them properly to maintain freshness.

  • Do you use animal lard in your pastries?

    No — we never use animal lard. All of our pastries are made with 100% Canadian butter for a rich, natural flavour.

  • Is there a difference between butter tarts shipped in tins vs. unmolded?

    No. The recipe, portion size, ingredients, and quality are exactly the same. The tin is simply used to protect the butter tart during shipping and handling.

  • What is the size of your butter tarts and cookies?

    Our butter tarts are oversized and our cookies are full-sized — no mini samples. Learn more on our [main FAQ page](https://carlacookiebox.com/faq/).

  • What is the texture of your butter tarts?

    Our butter tarts have a perfectly balanced texture — not runny, not too firm. The filling is rich, buttery, and just gooey enough to satisfy butter tart lovers.

  • What makes Carla’s Cookie Box butter tarts different?

    Our butter tarts feature a rich, gooey centre and a flaky, hand-rolled pastry, crafted with premium Canadian ingredients and no preservatives.

  • Why are my butter tarts shipped in baking tins?

    We’ve decided to bake our butter tarts in individual tins and ship them in-tin to ensure minimal touchpoints, better protection, and maximum freshness during transit. This helps preserve the delicate crust and gooey filling from oven to doorstep. During our packaging transition, some orders may ...

  • Will all future orders come in tins?

    Yes. Baking and shipping butter tarts in individual tins is our new standard moving forward. You may still receive unmolded tarts while we complete our transition.
