My mom makes these every christmas, and when we bring them to my grandmas, they are gobbled up right away! Enjoy! (oh, and a mint tart shaper from pampered chef is Veerrryy useful to have while making these!) I'm pretty sure this recipe came with the mini tart shaper! Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |

1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped |
Directions:
1. For tart shells: beat butter and cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add flour, mix until soft dough forms.
3. Cover, chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Shape dough into 1 inch balls, place into mini-muffin pan.
6. form into little shells with floured fingers. (this is where the tart shaper comes in handy!).
7. For Filling: Mix the rest of the ingrediants well.
8. Fill tart shells evenly with mixture.
9. Bake 20-25 minute or until a light, golden brown.
10. Remove from pan and place on cooling rack.
