Bite Size Pecan Pies--

Can't eat a whole pecan pie--well, I could, but that's a different story!

These little pecan pies are perfect for parties or special occasions.  I would 

make them to freeze--when needed--there they were.

Of course, you need those little tiny muffin tins--you know, those little 

tins are so worth the price to create bite size tidbits of anything!

2--3 Oz cream cheese

2 sticks butter

2 cups flour

Let butter/cheese stand at room temperature.  Mix good--then add

flour--best to let sit in refrigerator for 1.5 hours covered.  Okay,

we ready to place in tins:  make small balls and place into muffin tin,

press around to cover the sides and bottoms.  Now, you're ready

for the filling!

1.5 Cups brown sugar

2 eggs

2 Tablespoons softened butter

2 teaspoons vanilla

1.5 cups pecans (slightly chopped)

1/8 teaspoon salt _funny how this little bit of salt gives pecans taste

Stir together thoroughly to fill your

shells about 3/4 full.

bake 25 minutes in 375* oven

Enjoy, my friends and think of me as you savour!
