Servings: persons

FOR THE SHELLS:
1/2 cups Butter
3 ounces, fluid Cream Cheese
1 cup Flour
_____
FOR THE FILLING:
2 Tablespoons Butter
3/4 cups Brown Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla
1 whole Egg
1 cup Finely Chopped Pecans

1
Start by making the shell. Blend 1/2 cup butter with cream cheese. Once blended, add 1 cup flour and mix. Dough will be crumbly.
2
Roll dough into 1.5 inch balls and place each in muffin slots in a mini muffin pan.
3
Use a mini-tart shaper to press down the middle of the dough, pushing the dough up along the sides of the muffin slots.
4
If you do not have a tart shaper, like me, use the end of another tool from your vast array of cooking utensils. I used the blunt end of a pizza cutter. Be sure to dust flour over the end of your tool to prevent sticking.
5
I also flattened out the edges of my dough, pressing them into the side of the pan so there would be more room for filling, but that's up to you.
6
Now to the filling...
7
Mix 2 Tablespoons of butter with the brown sugar, vanilla and egg - I recommend doing this in a blender.
8
Once ingredients are combined, pour in 1 cup of finely chopped pecans and mix with a spoon.
9
Now, fill your tart shells with filling. Fill only to the top edge of the shell.
10
Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes and voila!
