This time of year, it’s all about the sweets. Cookies, cakes, candy, pies.

But it’s also about gathering together. Family, Friends, co-workers. It seems like there’s Always another event calling for food.

One of my favorite appetizers is Baked Brie. It’s fast and easy to put together and is always a hit.

I love using raisins  for a naturally sweet flavor that pairs well with the brie. Not using additional sweeteners means I don’t have to feel as guilty at the dessert table.  The pecans give a light crunch and the maple syrup melts into the cheese adding a little extra sticky goodness.

If I’m carrying this to another location, I’ll  prepare it ahead of time and then bake at the new location when I get there.

    This looks amazing! I want to make it for a holiday party this weekend. I’ve never used brie before. Does it have a rind that has to be removed? Or just use it as is when I buy it at the store? Just want to be sure I do it right!

      Yes, brie does have a rind. Depending on the thickness of the rind, you can shave some off but you don’t want to remove it completely and the rind is edible (and tasty)

    All I could find was a round package of softened brie – will this work? I am determined to make this during the holiday season! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
