Chocolate Pecan Tassies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (15 ounce) package pillsbury all ready pie crusts
    2 teaspoons flour
    2/3 cup pecans, chopped
    3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
    1 ounce square semisweet chocolate, melted, cooled
    1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine, softened
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 egg
Preparation
    Allow both crust pouches to stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
    Heat oven to 375\u00b0F.
    Unfold each crust; remove top plastic sheets. Press out fold lines.
    Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon flour. Spread flour evenly over crusts.
    Invert and remove remaining plastic sheets.
    Using a 2-5/8\" to 2-3/4\" round, scalloped cookie cutter, cut 12 rounds out of each crust.
    Gently press each round, floured side down, into 24 ungreased miniature muffin cups.
    Divide 1/3 cup of the nuts evenly in pie crust-lined muffin cups. In small bowl, beat brown sugar, chocolate, butter, vanilla, and egg only until smooth (do not overbeat; mixture should not be bubbly).
    Spoon teaspoonful of filling over nuts in each cup.
    Sprinkle with remaining nuts.
    Bake at 375\u00b0F for 18-22 minutes or until filling is set and crust is light golden brown.
    Cool 1 minute; remove from pans.
