For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the filling. Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the filling enhances their nutty flavor. If you don't have mini muffin liners, be sure to grease the pan well to prevent sticking. Pecans can be substituted for walnuts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
