Raise your hand if you love easy appetizers that look like you spent a ton of time on them. During this busy holiday season, there is nothing that makes me happier than an appetizer that is easy, delicious and impressive.

Let’s chat about cranberries. There are 2 camps for cranberry sauce: the lovers and the haters.

Which camp do you fall in? You really don’t find people indifferent to it. I’m a lover and the rest of my family? Not so much.

But when I put add some cranberry sauce to these Cranberry Brie Bites, it’s a whole new ball game.

What ingredients do I need to make Cranberry Puff Pastry Bites?

• puff pastry sheets
• brie
• cranberry sauce

That’s it. Only three ingredients away from goodness.

How do I get the puff pastry so fluffy?

This easy appetizer will become one of your go-to party snacks.  These Cranberry Brie Bites use just 3 ingredients but are so full of flavor that people won’t be able to stop popping them in their mouths.

Its easy to understand why. After all, ooey gooey Brie cheese and tart cranberry sauce has to one of the most brilliant flavor combinations ever. Wrap it all up with a flaky puff pastry, and you have hit appetizer heaven.
