Pecan Tassies, Barb (and other fillings) image

We made these amazing treats to take to tailgating get togethers when I lived in Illinois. I asked Barb for the recipe, luckily I found it 11.21.20. And she had notes for 2 other fillings...both sound good. But why mess with the original???

Fill each muffin cup with 1 ROUNDED TSP of desired filling. Bake at 325 degrees 25-30 min or until done. Cool slightly in pan. Remove. Cool completely.
  • 2. Pecan Filling: Beat together egg, brown sugar, butter and vanilla. Stir in pecans.
  • 3. Cranberry Nut Filling: Beat together egg, brown sugar, butter and vanilla. Stir in cranberries and walnuts.
  • 4. Brownie Nut Filling: In small saucepan, heat and stir chips and butter over low heat until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in sugar, egg, and vanilla. Place one whole nut inside each pastry shell. Top with 1 rounded tsp chocolate mixture.
  • 5. Peanut Butter Chip Filling: Combine sugar, egg, melted butter, lemon juice and vanilla in med bowl, stir smooth. Add chopped peanut butter chips. NOTE: this recipe calls for the dough to be filled 3/4 full, and baked at 350 degrees 20-25 min. Test on our recipe to see if you can do at the same temp as our recipe with our dough.
