CRUNCHY PECAN PIE BITES
Mini-pecan pies in packaged phyllo pastry shells. Easy, impressive and absolutely delicious. Southern Living recipe, I think from 11/2007. Just remember to keep stirring the pecan/syrup mixture as you fill the shells to keep the nuts and moisture evenly incorporated. They are great as gifts.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant.
- 2. Stir together sugar and corn syrup in a medium bowl. Stir in pecans, eggs, and next 3 ingredients.
- 3. Spoon about 1 heaping teaspooonful pecan mixture into each pastry shell, and place on 2 large baking sheets.
- 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 22 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks, and let cool completely about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- 5. For Mini Pecan Pies: Substitute 1 1/2 8 ounce packages frozen tart shells for frozen mini pastry shells. Prepare recipe as directed through step 2. Spoon about 1/4 cup pecan mixture into each tart shell. Place tart shells on a large baking sheet. Proceed with recipe as directed in step 4 increasing baking time to 25 to 30 minutes ur until set. Makes 1 dozen.
Tips:
- Use fresh pecans: Fresh pecans have a more intense flavor and a better texture than stale pecans. If you can't find fresh pecans, you can use frozen pecans, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast the pecans in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or you can toast them in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Use a food processor: A food processor is the easiest way to chop the pecans and oats. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a sharp knife to chop the pecans and oats, but it will take a little longer.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and the tops are set. If you're not sure if the cookies are done, insert a toothpick into the center of a cookie. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cookies are done.
Conclusion:
Crunchy pecan bites are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just for enjoying at home. With their crunchy texture, sweet flavor, and nutty aroma, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
