• 3 cups packed brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

To Make Pastry: Cream butter or margarine and cream cheese. Add flour and mix well. Make into 48 balls; place one ball in each cup of a mini tart pan. Use your fingers or a tart tamper to press out into a tart shell.
