Pro Tips for Perfect Pecan Pie Bites

1. Toast the Nuts: For an enhanced flavor, lightly toast the chopped pecans before mixing them with other ingredients.
2. Avoid Overfilling: Fill the phyllo shells just to the brim to prevent spilling during baking.
3. Check Consistency: Bake until the filling is just set to ensure it solidifies properly without overflowing.
4. Cool Completely: Allow the bites to cool on the baking sheet for easy handling and optimal texture.
5. Serve Fresh: For best taste, serve them the same day they are made, although they can also be enjoyed the next day.
