Ingredients (per serving):

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to use room temperature butter for the crust to ensure it comes together properly.
- Toast the pecans before adding them to the filling for an extra nutty flavor.
- Use a pie crust shield or aluminum foil to prevent the crust from burning during baking.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and brown sugar until a dough forms.
3. Press the dough into a greased mini muffin tin, making sure to cover the bottom and sides of each cup.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, chopped pecans, egg, vanilla extract, and salt.
5. Pour the filling into each crust, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
7. Let the treats cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
