What Can I Bring?

Frozen pre-made phyllo shells make this take on pecan tassies a breeze. To toast pecans, spread nuts on a baking sheet and bake 5 to 10 minutes in a 350-degree oven until lightly browned.
Hands on time: 15 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Serves: 45
Ingredients:
-
45 mini phyllo shells, such as Athens brand
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate miniature morsels
1 cup finely chopped toasted pecans
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/4 cup bourbon
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the shells on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle the miniature morsels into the shells, dividing evenly. In a mixing bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar, butter, bourbon and beaten egg; stir well. Spoon the mixture into the shells, filling each 3/4 full. Bake for 20 minutes or until set and golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
Notes:
Tip: If you have any leftover filling, you can cook it in the microwave and serve it over vanilla ice cream, Demer said.
