Everyone loves pecan pie, especially when it is made with freshly harvested Georgia pecans! These bite size pecan tarts are the perfect choice for your family and friends to enjoy this year's bountiful crop of pecans. They are absolutely fabulous.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened butter
1 3-oz. pkg. cream cheese softened
1 cup flour
1 egg
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 TBS melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 TBS light corn syrup
1/2 cup chopped pecans + 24 small pecan halves (optional)

Directions:
In a small mixing bowl, combine butter & cream cheese. Stir in flour.
Cover & chill about 1 hour or until easy to handle.
Shape into 1-inch balls.
Press onto bottom & up sides of ungreased mini muffin pan.
For filling: Combine together egg, sugar, melted butter, corn syrup and vanilla. Stir in chopped pecans.
Fill each tart shell with 1 rounded tsp. filling. Do not overfill. Top with 1 pecan half, if desired.
