I use Maple syrup instead of the Karo syrup! So good!
And, no need to add salt (many of us get too much already).
Great recipe!
Receta Pecan Tassies
Miniature pecan pies pretty much sums up the flavor but these are even better. I don’t care for pecan pie as it is too sweet for me. However this portion controlled delicate golden brown crust filled with a gooey pecan filling is just right.
