Munchies Milk Tart is a South African favorite. It is basically a custard tart with a cinnamon dusting. These bad boys can be eaten at any time of the day and go excellently as a teatime snack. Be warned though, these guys have half a cup of cannabutter in them, so they pack a hard punch. You can substitute some of the cannabutter for regular butter if you absolutely hate getting a serious buzz on.
Enjoy.
