Steps:
- Beat butter and cream cheese for crust with an electric mixer until smooth. Add flour and mix until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove dough from the refrigerator. Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- Whisk brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla for filling in a bowl until smooth.
- Roll dough into twenty four 1-inch balls. Press each ball into a muffin cup, so it spreads evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon pecans into each muffin cup, then top with about the same amount of egg mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the muffin tins.

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your pecan pie bites.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the dough to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
- Bake the pecan pie bites until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the pecan pie bites cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
