Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pecans finely chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz) or 24 mini pie crusts

Equipment

  • 1 Mini Muffin Tin (24-cup)
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough, press perforations to seal, and cut into 24 equal squares. Press each square into a mini muffin cup.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and salt. Stir well, then fold in the chopped pecans and vanilla extract.
  4. Spoon about a teaspoon of the pecan filling into each crust. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  5. Let the bites cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the caramel filling to set.
