Dough: Mix above to form dough. Divide into 24 balls.

FILLING:

Mix above together until smooth. Pat dough on bottom and sides of minature
muffin pans to make shells. Sprinkle a pinch of chopped nuts in each muffin
pan. Put filling in each shell. Top with more nuts. Bake in 350 oven for 25
minutes. Cool and then remove from tin. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if
desired. Place in minature fluted paper cups. I have been able to buy them
in gold and silver - looks elegant
