MINI SOUTHERN PECAN PIES
These tasty, pecan-filled mini pies are great for the holidays or an easy, elegant dessert anytime. The use of light corn syrup lets the pecan goodness shine through, rather than overwhelming with sugary sweetness. Be careful when eating these - if you get some of the filling on your face, your tongue may beat you to death trying to get to it! Try serving warm with vanilla ice cream. Serve warm or cool and place in airtight containers up to 1 week.

My friend, Chrissi made these while on a girl's weekend and they were fantastic. Rich, delicious "crust" filled with just enough pecan filling so it's not the large mouthful of a pecan pie slice. Simple to make--this ones a real winner.

MINI PECAN-PUMPKIN PIES
If you love all that is wonderful about the holidays, i.e. pecans, cookies and pumpkins, this is the dessert for you! I saw this recipe recently while watching the Food Network and absolutely had to try them. And I did, and they were delicious. Recipe courtesy of Sunny Anderson from an episode of "Cooking for Real". As Sunny noted on the show, be sure to keep all ingredients for the cookie crust (excluding the water!) in the freezer prior to dough assembly; this will ensure a light and delectable finish.
