OMG! You have to try this! It was so simple to make but it tastes and looks like something you'd get as an appetizer at a very, very expensive restaurant. If you are making it for friends, you can make them think that it was this impossible, complicated recipe. They will think you are a master chef!

Mimi, said it all, OMG this is so good, DH really loved it, said this is a keper. I used the camembert cheese, next time I am going to try it with the brie. Very easy to make. Thank you for posting the recipe. I'm surprised some hadn't made & reviewed this before. They don't know what they have been missing.

What a waste of money!!! I made this according to directions. The mint was way too overpowering, even without the mint it would have been bad.
