They are absolutely delicious tiny bites (about the size of a tassie) of cinnamon spiced sweetness spud in addition to pecans all baked inwards a pre-prepared mini-phyllo cup. They are impressive looking, cracking tasting, ultra-easy in addition to (believe it or not) the recipe says they are solely most 45 calories each!! It doesn't become much amend than that!!!

In a pocket-size bowl, combine toasted pecans, dark-brown sugar, syrup, vanilla in addition to egg white. Stir good in addition to laid aside.

Set mini phyllo shells on a baking canvass in addition to lay most one teaspoon of the sweetness spud mixture into the bottom of each compaction (gently force down-in a little).
