Yum! We love pecan tassies, and these did not disappoint! A tart shaper would definitely be helpful when making this recipe. These mini bites would be perfect for a shower or dinner party, where finger foods are served. Wonderful with coffee! I will save this to my 'make again' file! Thanks so much for sharing, swimmer175!
