Miniature pecan pies pretty much sums up the flavor but these are even better. I don’t care for pecan pie as it is too sweet for me. However this portion controlled delicate golden brown crust filled with a gooey pecan filling is just right.

    I use Maple syrup instead of the Karo syrup! So good!
    And, no need to add salt (many of us get too much already).
    Great recipe!
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
    This is a variation
