This appetizer is so much fun! I made it for a Halloween party in Norway, and everyone LOVED it! I will be making this again in the future. Thanks for posting.

Yum! This brie was so creamy and delicious. We love brie and this was a perfect party appetizer! I used a slightly larger round loaf of pumpernickel and it worked fine. Thanks so much :) Made this for Spring PAC 2008.

Wow, Syd! This appetizer is soooo good, I'm very glad that I made this incredible treat for my lunch today. I quartered the recipe, used a medium sized Italian bun and served it with sliced apples, red & green peppers and fresh chunks of carrots. The dip was smooth, creamy, cheesey and very tasty and the smell while baking was devine. Can't wait to make this for my son & dil. Thanks for another great treat.
