My grandmother used to make Pecan Tassies for every Holiday event along with her other traditional cookies and nut rolls. I love Pecan Tassies so I was so excited to find this recipe for a different flavor.

These tassies are a great make-ahead dessert. You can make them a day or two in advance and they'll still be delicious.

These tassies were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time and they still came out perfect.
