Ingredients

1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 (10-ounce) package almond brickle chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Unroll the piecrusts onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into 2 (15-inch) circles. Cut out 48 circles using a 1 3/4-inch fluted or round cookie cutter, re-rolling dough as needed. Place in 1 3/4-inch muffin pans, pressing on the bottoms and up the sides of each of the mini-muffin cups. Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and eggs in a large bowl, mixing well. Add the vanilla. Stir in the pecans and brickle chips. Spoon the pecan filling evenly into the pie shells. Bake for 25 minutes, or until filling is set and crust is lightly browned. Cool in pans on wire racks.

A Real Winner!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made these a half dozen times using Heath Toffe Chips. Used both refrigerated pie crust and fillo cups. My family... likes the fillo cups version much better. And the great part is that it's a lot easier too. The fillo cups are prebaked so all you do is fill them and pop them in the oven between 8-10 minutes. Makes about 60-65. You'll need 4 boxes of the fillo cups. These are perfect bite size treats! Thanks Paula!!!! Read more

These things are like crack.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I don't get it. These little tassies are nothing but pie crust, nuts, and sugar... but when prepared the way Paula says to... prepare them, they're utterly addictive. Get ready for Betty Ford, 'cause you're gonna need an intervention to put these things down. The only things I did differently were (a) using Heath bar crumbles and (b) using my great grandmother's pie crust recipe. I tried to get my head around using a frozen pie crust, but I just couldn't do it. Thanks, Paula. Now I have to go get on the Stair Master.Read more

Easy and amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are amazing! My whole family loved them. We also used Heath Bars, but left the chocolate on them...just added to the... goodness! We lowered the cooking time for our oven to 16-18 minutes. All ovens vary so I would just experiment with what works best for yours. Thanks Paula!Read more
