These can also be made with the Athens phyllo dough or PepperRidge Farm's Puff Pastry rolled thinner in confestioners sugar so as not to puff close the filling hole. Cut both with a Pizza Cutter Roller or although maybe you can use the Athens shells, which may result in a slightly bigger cookie if so just bake accordingly and enjoy! The ICING or any icing made with granulated sugar with a liquid & Crisco. The sugar should be added to warmed milk (liquid) so it dissolves & then left to cool before adding the other ingredients or visa verse, this prevents the icing from becoming "GRITTY"! If you don't like this ICING, you could USE YOUR FAVORITE, but any ICING should really be piped on with a pastry bag or corner of a baggy making for a prettier cookie! You can make these Even More Festive & Delicious by Sprinkling with your choice of finely chopped or ground nuts, colored sugar, candy decorator sprinkles or a little grated chocolate. I worked with a guy whose Wife made these put them on his cookie tray to bring to work, it was the first time I ever had them and I was wowed! I wasn't the only one, they were the first to go & she had quite a variety of Christmas Cookies & lots of them on his tray! They have been on my tray ever since! A little Bit of Work (a lot less using Athens Phyllo [Fillo] or the PepperRidge Farm's Puff Pastry - rolled thin or your cup will close but well worth your EFFORT! Happy Holidays to All and to All Happy Holiday Baking!

Asolutely LOVE these... they barely lasted the day that I made them... And for those that don't like the frosting, it really does add a little something to the cookie, just make sure you don't just bite into the frosting alone, it really has no taste.

These are okay. I am not a big fan of the tart crusts. They just tasted a bit blah and greasy. I have made something similar in the past with a shortbread-type crust and it was much yummier!

Very good. I too skipped the topping-for me, the cups were sweet and delicious enough on their own.

These were good - though very sweet. I followed others suggestions and did not frost w/icing. Instead, I melted two Hershey bars in the microwave,drizzled the chocolate over the cups and then topped with chopped walnuts. I likely will not make again though.

These are fantastic. I have made these and eveyone loves the. You have to press the dough high and over the edge a little to get enough space. A little caramel to fill the dip is fine. The frosting when whipped up completes the taste. If it is too fatty - just eat one but it completes the cookie and is better as a whole.

These are very good, however, I agree with another reviewer in that the dough itself needs something added to it. I also didn't use the icing as I thought they tasted just fine without.

Well I haven't made these yet. I am thinking though perhaps instead of a tart pan, maybe I will try a mini muffin pan because of the complaints about the room for the filling. I think I will opt of of lard frosting and do what others suggested with the pecans and the choclolate drizzle. It really sounds like they could be really good with some alterations. Will give a whirl tomorrow and report back. Am using this recipe because I have everything, sans pecans. So I think I will try to go cheap and just buy some pecans tomorrow. Just thinking maybe some candied pecans might add something a little special, will edit to let you all know what happened. I am giving it a five star now, with the caveat that I may re-rate after they are made. Wish me luck. Happy Holidays all

Great idea however the dough for the pastry cups didn't have much flavor. I think adding some sugar and some salt might help. Just seemed bland by itself. The caramel did help a little. I didn't make the frosting either. I drizzled choc on top like the previous reviews did.

Delicious!! A hit at all of my holiday parties. I'll be careful next time not to fill the cups completely with the caramel mixture... leave some room for the frosting or else they'll leak all over the place!

These are delicious. But - I found that baking the empty tarts really shrunk down the space inside for filling. I'm not sure how to remedy that. I agree with GR8TWEETS as far as the frosting made with all the shortening (lard). I made it and found it to be awful, tasted like commercial frosting. Needless to say, I threw away the frosting and opted to sprinkle Chopped Pecans over the Caramel and then Drizzled Melted Chocolate over the Chopped Pecans. Now that makes for one awesome Caramel Cup!! While making these I vowed never to make them again, but with the Chopped Pecans and Drizzled Chocolate I think I will make these over and over again!!

These were pleasant however I did not ice them. I just could not bring myself to make an icing that called for a cup of lard (disgusting)As it turned out they were just fine without the icing. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
