Dump melted butter into a mixing bowl along with brown sugar and dark corn syrup.

Mix on medium speed for about 10 to 15 seconds until well incorporated.

Add lightly beaten eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the mixture.

Defrost and thaw the frozen tart shells according to package instructions (about 10 minutes).

Line each tart shell with pecans, leaving some space for the mixture.

Transfer the filling mixture into a measuring cup for easier pouring.

Pour the mixture into each tart shell, filling not flush to the brim.

Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 to 15 minutes, checking for bubbling and golden brown crust.
