Step 1
1. Chop the pecans. Melt and cool the butter for the filling. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Evenly divide the butter mixture among the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts into each cup.
