Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, not margarine, and good-quality chocolate and nuts.
- Don't overcook the caramel. It should be cooked until it reaches a deep amber color, but not so long that it becomes hard and brittle.
- Let the caramel cool completely before filling the tassies. If the caramel is too hot, it will melt the pastry and make the tassies soggy.
- If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a spoon to fill the tassies. Just be sure to fill them evenly so that they bake evenly.
- Bake the tassies until the pastry is golden brown and the caramel is bubbling.
- Let the tassies cool completely before serving. They will firm up as they cool.
