INSTRUCTIONS
According to the credits I typed on my recipe card, this is from Southern Living. It makes about 5 dozen Tassies, but it lookd easy enough to cut in half for less. I have not made these, but they look delicious!

Chocolate Cream Cheese Pastry:
1 3/4 cups AP Flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 sticks butter, cut into pieces
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt

Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until dough leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball. Divide dough into 8 portions, shaping each portion into a ball. Wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour. (MY NOTE: if you have ever made tassies, I would think you could do this in an electric mixer also.)

Filling:
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Remove chilled pastry from refrigerator. Shape into 1 inch balls, and press into miniature muffin tins. Set aside.

Stir together the filling ingredients in a large bowl, spoon pecan mixture into the pastry shells, filling 3/4 full.

Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes.

Spread the word
