NYE 2015 Recipe 2: Walnut Cups

After a big Christmas Eve Party for New Years Eve we are keeping it light and easy with appetizers, small bites, and dessert

For this recipe I used the left over that I had from the Walnut Horns I made for Christmas Eve . . .these were super yummy cookies but a total PITA to make -- these were still a little sticky and again I used too much filling but OMG so much easier and just as tasty
