Ingredients
-
6 ounces cream cheese
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 cup butter
-
1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels
-
½ cup evaporated milk
-
½ cup white sugar
-
1 cup shortening
-
⅓ cup evaporated milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Combine cream cheese, butter, and flour; mix to form a dough. Pinch off 48 equal pieces and press into mini tassie pans.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool slightly, then carefully remove from the pans as they can break easily.

Melt caramels and 1/2 cup evaporated milk in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave on medium-high heat. Stir until creamy. Pour melted caramel into shells and top with frosting.
-
To make the frosting: Beat sugar, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, shortening, and vanilla until light and creamy.
