1/2

cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened

cup flour

egg

3/4

cup firmly packed brown sugar

tsp. vanilla

Make It

BEAT cream cheese and butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour; mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until chilled.

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Divide dough into 24 balls. Place one ball in each of 24 miniature muffin pan cups; press onto bottoms and up sides of cups to form shells. Set aside. Beat egg lightly in small bowl. Add sugar and vanilla; mix well. Stir in pecans. Spoon evenly into pastry shells, filling each shell three-fourths full.

BAKE 25 min. or until lightly browned. Let stand 5 min. in pans; remove to wire racks. Cool completely. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Let stand until set.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Variation

For a quick garnish, dust cooled tarts with powdered sugar instead of drizzling with the melted chocolate.

I made this last night for a family gathering. I read lots of suggestions and took advice from several. I added salt to the dough and butter to the filling. I took them out at 18 min. I put the pecans in the bottom of the pastry then the filling on top. Thet turned out very good. Next time I will not drizzle with chocolate I will just put a half of a pecan on top of each to decorate.

I tried this recipe a couple of years ago, now I am making them by request. They melt in your mouth and are mildly addictive. so good.

My mother in law has a similar recipe and found these on the website and I like them even better! I make them for Christmas and I sprinkle powder suger on them instead of melted chocolate. They are very good!

Very good recipe. I only made it once at Christmas, but everyone loved it. Will definitely make again!

I put 4 or 5 chocolate chips into each shell before adding the pecan mixture, and used white chocolate tinted pink for Valentine's Day instead of the semi-sweet chocolate. Very good, pretty, and lots of compliments!!
