BOURBON-PECAN TASSIES
Think of these tasty little tassies as your own personal pecan pie. They're both salty and sweet, with a hit of oaky bourbon. Whole-grain rye flour adds the perfect touch of sour to the shortbread-like crust, while toasted pecans do double duty in the crust and in the maple-splashed filling. As if that weren't enough to jingle your bell, we drizzle warm bittersweet chocolate over each bite to ensure maximum satisfaction.

Steps:
- To prepare crust, preheat oven to 350°F.
- Generously coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with baking spray. Beat oil, 2 tablespoons butter, powdered sugar, milk, and cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Process 1/3 cup pecans in a food processor until finely ground. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt to food processor; pulse 5 times. Add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat just until combined. (Mixture will be crumbly.) Knead in bowl until dough comes together, 3 to 4 times. Shape dough into 24 balls. Place balls in cups of prepared muffin pan; press dough into bottom and up sides of cups to form shells. Bake 5 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
- To prepare filling, whisk together brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, eggs, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Stir in 2/3 cup pecans. Spoon about 1 tablespoon pecan mixture into each tart shell. Bake 18 minutes or until filling is puffed and browned. Cool 20 minutes in pan on a wire rack.
- Microwave chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at HIGH until chocolate melts, about 45 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds. Run an offset spatula around edges of tarts to loosen; remove tarts from pan. Drizzle chocolate evenly over each tart.

Steps:
- Prepare the Chocolate Crusts: Beat butter and sugar with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add egg yolk, flour, cocoa, and salt. Beat until fully combined, about 1 minute. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and chill 2 hours.
- Coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Uncover dough; shape into 20 (1-inch) balls. Gently press each ball into bottom and up sides of 20 prepared muffin cups. Place in freezer, uncovered, until ready to use.
- Prepare the Filling: Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk together egg, granulated sugar, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt in a glass measuring cup or a small bowl until smooth.
- Remove Chocolate Crusts from freezer; fill each with about ½ teaspoon finely chopped pecans. Carefully drizzle Filling over pecans to come about three-fourths up the sides of each crust. Top each with 2 pecan halves.
- Bake in preheated oven until mostly dry to the touch and crust is set, about 18 minutes. Cool 15 minutes in muffin pan. Run a small knife around edge of each crust. Lift from pan; place on a serving platter. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- Place chopped chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on 50% power until melted, stirring every 30 seconds (about 1 minute total). Transfer melted chocolate to a small piping bag or a ziplock plastic bag with 1 small corner snipped off, and drizzle chocolate over cooled tassies.
CHOCOLATE BOURBON PECAN TASSIES
My grandma was a southern belle, who taught me that pecan tassies are a southern tradition for tea-time. Tassies are little cookie-sized pies. Nothing is more southern than bourbon and chocolate is necessary in my family. This recipe has it all! They are very addictive, so make sure you make a double recipe if you are giving some...

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2. In a large saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over medium heat, then let cool.
- 3. In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy, then add sugar, dark corn syrup, vanilla, bourbon and salt. Mixing together.
- 4. Add a small amount of the melted chocolate/butter mixture and mix together. Then add the rest of the chocolate/butter mixture.
- 5. For pie/tassie crust, stir the flour, cocoa powder and sugar together. Work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Then slowly mix the egg/water into the dough until it comes together as a ball.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
- If you don't have bourbon, you can substitute another type of whiskey or rum.
- The pecans should be finely chopped so that they distribute evenly throughout the tassies.
- Be careful not to overfill the tassie shells, or the filling will spill out during baking.
- Bake the tassies until the filling is set and the edges of the shells are golden brown.
- Let the tassies cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.
- Store the tassies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
