This recipe is a 'must have' at our family holiday parties. I have to make at least 2 extra batches because my husband and kiddos eat them as fast as they come out of the oven! I have found over the years that the pastry is easier to work with if it is chilled for a bit before putting it in the muffin tin. AWESOME RECIPE!!!!!!!
