modifications on last year's cranberry pecan tassies. this year i used walnuts and candied orange peel instead. because the tops were not so attractive (no red cranberry peeking out), i drizzled them with white chocolate. thanks for the idea, t., gleefully stolen.

the dough for these is a bitch to work with. it's a whole lot of cream cheese, a whole lot of butter, and just enough flour to hold it together. it's very sticky and melts instantly when i try to jam it into the mini-muffin tins. worth it, though, i think.
