Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Crust
5 tablespoons butter, softened
4 oz light cream cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/8 tsp salt
Filling
3/4 cup light-brown sugar
1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 large egg
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
2/3 cup chopped pecans, divided

Steps:

  • For crust
  • Mix softened butter and cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Blend in flour (a bit at a time), confectioners' sugar and salt. Form dough into a disk. Cover in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 3 hours. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Divide dough into 24 balls; press into two 12-cup mini muffin tins, pushing dough up over edges. Refrigerate.
  • For filling
  • Mix brown sugar, chocolate, egg, melted butter, vanilla and salt in a bowl until combined. Divide half the pecans among muffin cups; top with brown sugar mixture; sprinkle remaining pecans on top.
  • To assemble
  • Bake 20 minutes or until dough is lightly golden around edges. Let sit 5 minutes. Run tip of knife around cup edges to loosen. Remove when cool enough to handle; transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
