There are 10 beautiful pecan trees that are over 150 years old in the yard and they bless us with @ 40- 60 lbs (yes that's pounds) of paper shell pecans that are sweet and about an inch long of nut. That's our share we can wrangle away from the hoards of squirrels, lol. I've got my Thanksgiving pies baking now and am going to try this recipe but with filo shells instead of the regular crust. Have a great holiday. By the way, having the trees are great, but never, ever park your car under them, they stain the paint.

I used to eat little tarts like this as a kid in the cafeteria growing up in North Carolina, and I haven't had anything like it in the longest time. The combination of pecans and chcoolate is just heavenly to me. I also feel for you on the desire for fruit trees. Here in Iowa the produce pickings can be very slim, especially when it comes to fruit. I only wish I had some land for an orchard or vegetable garden, or even just a windowsill wide enough to grow herbs! I’m so excited about this recipe!

I love the addition of Kahlua. We've always used maple syrup in pecan pie. These look fantastic. I love the addition of Kahlua.

Amy, I was thinking I might try to grow one indoors. I've had miserable luck with that in the past, but I think I'm game to try again. Nupur, thanks! I think the muffin tin works very well for these. Johanna, that's quite an incredible round-up for this months SHF! Thanks so much for hosting. Great theme!

I love the fact that you use muffin cups and not the specialty mini tart pans. I might try this recipe for Thanksgiving this year. The baby pies look adorable!

And they are quite easy, too. Zebra: Oh, I am jealous of your lemon and lime trees. Valli: Yeah, I can't have any treats for the next few weeks because I have a bridesmaid dress that I must fit into on Sep 22! Deborah: Isn't it fun to plan the garden? And yes, the chocolate fits in quite nicely. ;-) Peabody, Rose, Ahn: Thank you! And they are quite easy, too.
