Time 45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
2-1/2 cups pecans, chopped
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the chopped pecans and toast for about 10 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently.
  • Meanwhile, make the crusts. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add the flour and salt and beat until well combined. Take a few tablespoons of dough and press into and up the sides of each mini muffin cup.
  • To make the filling, in a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir in the toasted pecans until well coated. Spoon about a tablespoon of filling into each crust, filling it about 3/4 full. Try not to overfill the crusts, as the filling will bubble over when they are baking. Don't worry...you'll be adding more filling after they bake!
  • Bake the bites for about 15 minutes or until the crusts just start to brown. Remove from the oven and let set for about 5 minutes before scooping another tablespoon of filling onto each bite. Let bites cool in pan completely before removing.

CRUNCHY PECAN PIE BITES

Mini-pecan pies in packaged phyllo pastry shells. Easy, impressive and absolutely delicious. Southern Living recipe, I think from 11/2007. Just remember to keep stirring the pecan/syrup mixture as you fill the shells to keep the nuts and moisture evenly incorporated. They are great as gifts.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • To make the bites even more decadent, add a dollop of caramel or chocolate sauce to the center before dipping them in chocolate.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, so that it doesn't burn.
  • To make sure the bites are evenly coated in chocolate, use a fork to dip them into the melted chocolate, then tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
  • Place the bites on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the chocolate to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These pecan bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're sweet, crunchy, and chocolatey, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these pecan bites a try. You won't be disappointed!
