Time 1h15m

Yield 45 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 cup margarine
2 cups flour
14 ounces caramels
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon Kahlua
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup Crisco, plain
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon Kahlua
nuts or candy sprinkles

Steps:

  • If you object to liqueur, the Kahlua can be omitted.
  • By hand, mix the dough ingredients together.
  • Make into small balls.
  • Press into mini muffin cups and prick with a fork 4-5 times.
  • Bake 350F for 12-15 minutes.
  • Let cool and then remove from tins.
  • Using a double boiler, melt the caramels.
  • Add the evaporated milk and Kahlua, stirring well.
  • Fill the tarts 1/2 full with the melted filling.
  • Beat 1/2 cup margarine, 1/2 cup Crisco and 1/2 cup sugar until very smooth and fluffy.
  • Add 1 small can evaporated milk and 1 T Kahula, or more to taste.
  • Beat at least 10-15 minutes or until the consistancy of a light fluffy whipped topping.
  • Using a pastry bag, or a strong plastic bag with the corner cut off, pipe the frosting on top of the cooled caramel filled cups.
  • Sprinkle the tops with nuts or sprinkles.
  • If I'm in a cookie baking frenzy, I make the dough cups one day and then fill and ice them another.
  • I keep them in the freezer until it's time to put them on my trays.
