Although, they are sweets (not candy, they're kind of a tart). I know you always eat healthy, but a batch of these once in a while is excellent for your mental health. :-) INGREDIENTS 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese 1/2 cup butter 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 egg 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup chopped walnuts DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line mini muffin pans with paper liners. In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter and flour until a dough forms. Roll into 1 inch balls and press them into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared muffin cups. In a small bowl, blend together the egg, butter, vanilla and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in walnuts. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, but do not fill all the way to the top or the mixture will bubble over. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the crusts are golden. These are to die for. Don't have the family hovering over the kitchen whilst you're baking or they will go as soon as they're out of the oven. Those sound delicious, Ruth. I'll have to give them a try.

I have several relatives who make them and I have their recipes, but it was easier to just go online and find it. They're a pretty popular cookie, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas and they're totally addictive! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I had only ever tasted shop-bought pickled walnuts and they were awful. Very vinegar-y and strongly flavoured with allspice and cloves, both of which I don't care for. So when our tree started producing nuts I decided to pickle my own and I made up my own vinegar to suit my taste. They were rather nice and since then I do them every year. Made 10 jars this year plus some 'in the French Style' because the French, apparently, say the English don't know how to pickle walnuts! I also made some Vin de Noix (Walnut Wine) this year. It started life with a very strong tannin element, but it is settling down now and is a very fine tipple indeed. More Christmas presents. We are currently harvesting nuts like they are going out of fashion. We will dry them in the shell for about 2 weeks before we start eating them as 'wet walnuts'. The remainder (ha!) will be stored and shelled as required to be used in baking, for general eating, at breakfast time ... etc etc etc. The crows, rooks and jays also help themselves, straight off the tree. Some nuts escape and germinate, so I dig up the little plant and pot it up and give it away. done about 6 so far!
