Okay, so technically these little Cutie Pies are not cookies, bars or candies but they are seriously a scrumptious little treat and absolutely perfect for a holiday treat platter. And, they are super super easy to make!
After seeing this recipe on Lick the Bowl Good (Hey, Monica!) I knew as soon as I promised my Dad that I would help provide refreshments for his art show this past weekend that these little gems would be perfect. Perfectly delicious and perfect for people to just grab as they were looking around at all my Dad's beautiful photographs. And I have to say, I was soooo right! They disappeared just like that!

ReplyDeleteI love the name - cutie pies! :o) I'm making little pecan tarts this weekend, so very similar. I love mini treats. These look fantastic and I love how easy they are.

Avril, your little muffins sound delicious! Your dad has beautiful photography on his site! Creativity runs in the family:)
ReplyDeleteThese cutie pies really are cute.
ReplyDeleteExtra pecan-y muffins sound really good to me right now. I loved these little cutie pies! You're so right about taking them out of the pan right away. I made them for my mom and we let them sit too long and we were practically using a chisel to scrape them out. Totally delicious though :-)
