     I just wanted to point out that "corn syrup" is a completely different ingredient than "high fructose corn syrup" both chemically and in its typical uses. Corn syrup is old school, not a lab creation like HFCS. It should be used sparingly, only in the sense that any refined sugar should be. - 10/13/12

     I am shocked that you would publish ANY recipe with corn syrup. I have been baking pecan pies for years without it, subbing agave nectar and/or maple syrup, both of which have lower glycemic indices, and both of which do not feed a truly dirty, destructive agro-biz. Sub either and you will love it! - 3/23/11

     I love pecan pie but tend to go a little crazy with it. These were a great thing to have instead. It tasted fantastic and kicked that pecan pie craving in the butt! - 11/30/10

     I found you can make this recipe with egg substitute ,lite brown sugar which is a blend of sugar & Splenda,I think ,but it makes it with less calories,you can also use lite butter,These will lessen the guilt and not the flavor.Good luck. - 7/21/11

     I have a reputation to live up to here, and these definitely measure up! Could be a bit sweeter, but all in all they are great. I will be bringing them to 2 Holiday parties with no apologies. I used the scraps of phyllo to top some sliced apples dusted with cinnamon Splenda. Baked them 20 mins. - 12/10/10

     Delicious!!! I didn't change a thing. - 10/13/12

     Delicious! I make this for our small office Christmas party and received rave reviews. Extras went home to a sick husband, and and grandmas who where watching the kids. They were super easy too! I will definitely be making these again. - 12/4/10

     The corn syrup ruined it for me. My recipe, while needing calories shaved off does not use corn syrup. I only use brown sugar-dark, unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla and chopped pecans. - 7/31/12

     OMG!!! These were sooo yummy. My husband loves them too. I have to make another batch tomorrow just for him, since the first batch was for work. - 12/11/10

     Loved it - a great substitute for Pecan Pie for Thanksgiving - 11/26/10

     Guess what I figured out...If you eat three of these delicious little things...it equals one slice of pecan pie. Bummer. How to stop at one? - 11/26/10

     1/2 cup of corn syrup divided by 24 and just 102 calories? There's nothing wrong with that and I'm sure they're good. The best way to stop at one is to only make them for a gathering where there won't be leftovers. - 10/13/12

     The actual recipe looks nothing like this picture!!!! However the recipe itself tastes good. It would be nice if photos matched!!!!!! - 10/17/12

     I make these with a cream cheese crust and no corn syrup. They are call Tassies and they are for a splurge so enjoy and don't criticize every ingredient. If you want to change the sugar or anything else do so and thank the chef for the recipe. Have a great new year! - 12/29/12

     This may be delicious BUT it is terrible for someone who is diabetic. I notice u conveniently leave off the sugar content on ur receipes. Very bad. These "little tarts r 8.7 sugas for 1. Not worth the bother. - 10/13/12

     I think I'm going to try this recipe for Turkey Day; I'm not required to cook anything but I always like to bring a treat of some sort. ^_^ - 11/9/10

     I didn't have mini muffin tins, so I used regular, making each tart 2 servings. I also added 8 Ghirardelli 60% cocoa chocolate chips to each one. Holy cow they're good! - 11/17/12

     sugar is sugar, either your in or your out... healthiest to stay away from it but if your going to indulge like around the holidays its best to know the nutrition up front per serving than to be surprised after the fact.. I will make for a crowd and send the rest home with friend for less temptation - 10/14/12

     I wish I could afford to try this. It sounds good. But nuts here are running around $13/lb ($10 if they are on sale). A a package of phyllo is over $4. Maybe one day I will be able to splurge and try it. - 10/13/12

     sounds like a great treat to bring to the Saturday morning coffee meeting we have in my building each week. Time to go shopping. - 10/13/12

     Bite sized pecan pies. Portion control. Delicious. - 11/22/19

     I could not find phyllo dough sheets in the Store, but found preformed phyllo tartlet shells, so I used those. Made the filling per recipe with the exception of the corn syrup. I had none on hand so I used sugar free Pancake Syrup. Turned out great. - 11/24/12
