Oooo you'll like these and they are pretty easy to make. They also add a variety to any desert selection. They are often called mini pecan pies since they are exactly that mini pecan pies.

Makes 24 bite size tassies!


Pastry


3 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup flour

Filling

1 egg
1 tablespoon butter - melted
dash of salt
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans

Blend together the cream cheese and margarine then add the flour using a pastry cutter or two knives.
Roll pastry into 24 ball. Place the balls in the freezer while making filling.

Remove the pastry balls from the freezer and place a ball into each cup of a mini muffin tin. Press the middle of the balls down with your thumb and work up the sides of the cup. Fill the pastry cups with the filling.
