Lemon Chess Tassies Mini

I love lemon desserts, so these sounded particularly yummy and easy to make. I think they would go very nicely with hot tea anytime. Use the lemon chess pie filling" to fill the shells. From the "southern living little book of mini muffins & more" note: preparation time includes 1-hour chill time for dough."
