Almost everyone has their ain favorite version of a pecan tassie, the classic Christmas treat. However, for those who don't, this is a cracking one. Pecan tassies are a seize alongside teeth size pecan pie inward a cream cheese pastry crust. I used to brand them entirely at Christmas, simply they convey give-up the ghost ane of Hubby's favorites, too then I brand them throughout the year. This recipe makes four dozen too freezes well.

For those stubborn tassies, utilization the tip of a knife to assistance yous elevator them out of the pan.
