It’s 80 degrees outside here in Florida. I’m not trying to rub it in to the rest of the country who are experiencing all time lows. I love the warmth. I’m the type that will get into a hot car and just sit there for a while before turning on the air. My husband, who is from Colorado, feels like we’re faking the holidays. To him, Christmas means cold and it means snow.
But I grew up in Arizona. Christmas to me means a fake tree. It means a insanely clear sunny sky. It means listening to Nat King Cole and drinking V8 juice that’s always in our stockings. It means lighting a fire in a fireplace when it’s 75 degrees out.
So as I walk barefoot to my mailbox to get Christmas cards from my friends and snuggle up on the couch and open all of them by the glow of our Christmas tree lights…it feels just likeChristmas should. Warm and fuzzy.

These brown sugar brie bites are a little piece of heaven. If you’ve never tasted melted Brie with a hint of sweet brown sugar and pecans, you’re missing out.
Brie can be messy but baking them in littlebuttery crescentcups makes them easy toeat.

The sweetness of brown sugar pairs so well with a bite of brie in this appetizer.

Prep Time: 10 minutes mins
Cook Time: 15 minutes mins
Total Time: 25 minutes mins
Servings: 24 bites
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 8 ounce package Pillsbury® Crescent Rolls
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 8 ounce round Brie cheese, rind removed, cut into 24 small pieces
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray as well as the top of the muffin pan.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and add the pecans. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the pecans are toasted. Add the cinnamon and stir. Remove from heat and set aside.
Unroll the crescent dough. Take two triangles and press them together to form a rectangle, making 4 rectangles total. Cut each rectangle into 6 equal squares. Gently press each square into a muffin cup.
Place one piece of Brie into each muffin cup.
Add the brown sugar to the pecan mixture and toss to combine. Place about a teaspoon of the nut mixture on top of the Brie in each cup.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until Brie is melted and the crescent bites are golden brown.

How would these be at room temperature? I’m thinking of taking them to a holiday party; is it something that works well to make ahead (like literally right before I go)?

I think brie is always good at room temp.

This method is generally not adopted due to
the large size of the tank required to hold the wastewater generated.Following the publicity on the market several “no waste water concept” of
product analysis, the purpose of this paper
is based grind through the media, Bibi Whose water is a real
no-no water, whose skillful and who better able to withstand the test of the market, even invites
manufacturers, distributors and consumers understand the essence of the problem,
do not do taken for a ride, do not waste your money. The water must
travel into unsaturated soil so that microbes there and in
the mat can feed on the waste and nutrients in the effluent. -

I make these often for dinner parties and holidays. Everyone LOVES them, except for a few folks who don’t like nuts. So, now I always make a few omitting the nuts and adding jam instead. And now everyone LOVES them!! They are super easy to make too. Thanks for a great recipe!

These look delicious and I’m planning to make them as a Christmas appetizer…quick question though: does it matter if you use double/triple creme brie, or would that get too melty in the oven?
-
Christy {The Girl Who Ate Everything} — Reply
There isn’t a whole lot of room to add more brie to each cup. But you can try!

@tara I just read your question and I think you meant the intensity of the Brie not the amount. I’ve made lots of things with baked Brie and I would say if you wanted to use a creamier Brie you could just maybe not bake it as long. Usually the creamier the Brie the less intense the taste is also.

These bites look fantastic. So jealous of you warm weather, it’s in the low 20s here in michigan.

Would you be able to substitute Grand Flaky biscuits for the crescent rolls?
-
Christy {The Girl Who Ate Everything} — Reply
I think you could. The biscuits are really big so you would have to cut them into pieces and flatten them out.

Nothing really, just wanted to comment on your note from last evening. I’m originally from far western NY where it REALLY snows, but have not lived there in years, so go along with the Sunshine girl! We are in Sarasota in winters.
Your recipes are great and this brown sugar Brie one sounds yummy! Thanks.

These look great! I love bite-sized food because it feels as though the calories don’t count which just means I can eat more without feeling guilty 😉
