I will keep this post short and sweet. The New Year is upon us and we are READY to welcome the New Year!
Whether you are having a get-together or having just a small dinner with loved ones these Brie Bites are the perfect appetizer to have on the menu, especially if you have some leftover cranberry sauce.

The best part is if you are tired of cranberry sauce you can use any other fruit jam! Fig, strawberry, even apricot!
I didn’t use pre-rolled puff pastry, but if you have access to some you most definitely can use it.
I used about 1/2 a wheel of brie for this recipe.
