Raspberry Almond Brie Bites

I had my work Christmas party the other day and I had no idea what to make as far as food. I thought about going with buffalo chicken dip that I saw on Pinterest, so I went over to Publix. So you know how Publix always has samples and recipes to try out? Well I got the idea from there. But it was sooooo delicious when I made it, that I just had to share with you guys! It's super easy to make and so fancy looking! You're sure to make a great impression!

Ingredients:
French Brie (I used the imported kind)
Mini fillo shells (in the frozen section)
Almonds (sliced thin)
Raspberry Preserves (or apricot or strawberry, or whatever your little heart desires)

Here are all the ingredients! I bought 3 boxes of the mini fillo shells because they were cheap!

 

 

Lay the shells out and put a small slice of Brie inside. I am not too familiar with Brie, but I actually cut the outside waxy part off... not sure if it's edible!

 

 

Then top them off with some raspberry preserves.

 

 

And then some sliced almonds! Bake at 350 for about 5-8 minutes.

 

 

Let them cool off for a few minutes and then serve! I wanted to put them on cute holiday dishes so the host will be able to keep them as a gift!

 

 

 

Delicious AND fancy! Perfect appetizer! Enjoy!

DVM Wish List for Grenada

My departure date is nearing even faster than I imagined! There are still a bunch of things I need and everyone keeps asking me what I want for Christmas/Birthday/going-away. So I made a list of things I need and websites leading to the specific ones I want.
 
I'm crossing out the ones I got!
