Ingredients
– 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
– 1 cup pecans, chopped
– 3/4 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Equipment Needed
– Muffin tin
– Rolling pin (if you choose to roll out your own crust)
– Mixing bowls
– Whisk
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts on a clean surface. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass—about 3 inches in diameter—cut out circles of dough. These will form the adorable crusts for your bites. Gently press the dough circles into the muffin tin to create little cups, making sure to leave some overhang. It’s okay if they look a bit rustic; I think that adds character! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
