Original Recipe Yield 24 tarts
 

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped PLANTERS Pecans
  • 3 (1 ounce) squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted

Directions

  1. Beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour; mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until chilled.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Divide dough into 24 balls. Place one ball in each of 24 miniature muffin pan cups; press onto bottoms and up sides of cups to form shells. Set aside. Beat egg lightly in small bowl. Add sugar and vanilla; mix well. Stir in pecans. Spoon evenly into pastry shells, filling each shell three-fourths full.
  3. Bake 25 min. or until lightly browned. Let stand 5 min. in pans; remove to wire racks. Cool completely. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Let stand until set.

Footnotes

  • Variation
  • For a quick garnish, dust cooled tarts with powdered sugar instead of drizzling with the melted chocolate.
  • How to Soften Cream Cheese
  • Place measured amount of cream cheese in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 10 sec. or until slightly softened.
