Cranberry Brie Bites
"These are a fun appetizer and a much easier way to serve brie to a group. They are very versatile so you might want to try a brown sugar and walnut filling instead of the cranberry, or whatever is your preference!"

Can you assemble these in advance and bake off later? I wasn’t sure if it would mess them up

You have some great recipes, but I can never get them to print out to the point I have gotten so frustrated that I have thought about cancelling getting your emails since I figure what is the point if they never print out. Yours is the only webpage I have this problem with, no matter what I have tried and yes I am signed in. I thought at first maybe that was the problem. Can you please help? Your recipes look and sound so yummy and lots of great reviews, but I don't feel like printing them out if there is a lot of directions. Thanks in advance if you can help me figure this problem out. Would be very appreciative. -
My puff pastry did not cook completely. Are you supposed to fold it over into a smaller square when you put it in the mini muffin cups???? -
Is the abbreviation T for a teaspoon or tablespoon? -
re: Cranberry Sauce -- Is this the JELLY or the one with full cranberries?

These were FANTASTIC! They were simple to make and impressive enough that people thought I spent a lot of time on them! The people who were less-adventurous and had never had brie, were so surprised that they liked something new! Haha. After making them once as-is, I experimented with them some-- you can use the exact same recipe and substitute Lil' Smokies cut in half for the cranberry and they make an awesome savory bite. Another thing-- you can use Pillsbury croissants (in a can) if you can't find puff pastry! -
Awesome! I think I got mine a little too full because the cheese bubbled out and ran over but it didn't stick so cleaned up easily enough. Instead of cranberry sauce I used leftover cranberry chutney from recipe #468443. Also used a goat cheese brie which was a little runnier than I expected so that might have added to the bubbling over issue. Anyway, these are fab and I will be making them again for sure! Thanks for sharing!

These are so good and so easy! I used less cheese (a 7oz triangle) and less cranberries. I would have like more cranberries, but I don't know how you get more to fit without them spilling over the side (and causing them to stick). Mine took 20 minutes to bake. I made them a few hours ahead. I had leftovers the next day and they were still great - you could definitely make these ahead of time and leave covered in the fridge until serving. -
Yummy! I served these on new years eve and everyone loved them. I used raspberry preserves instead of Cranberry sauce and it was great. thanks!

These were yummy! I didn't read the part about only letting them partially cool before removing from the tins, so mine stuck quite a bit. They were really ugly, but I got a lot of compliments on them.

So easy and they got EXCELLENT reviews at a party! i did change one thing, if you have the time to make it a little more fancy... i used a salsa made of cranberries, prunes, orange, pecans and sugar instead of cranberry sauce (a mix i got off a turkey sandwich recipe). just put it all in a food processor. it gave it some more texture. But I don't doubt that it would be excellent with the cranberry sauce as well. I will definitely make this again!!!

Absolutely fantastic!!! I made these for a cocktail party and used raspberry jam instead of cranberry sauce. They were a HUGE hit! Definitely one I'll make from now on, especially considering how easy it is.
