Ingredients
  

  • 1 wheel brie
  • 1 cup cranberries
  • 1 cup candied pecans
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 16 mini salami sticks or pretzel sticks I get these at Trader joe's
  • edible gold leaf flakes

Instructions
 

  • Finely chop the parsley, pecans, and dried cranberries or add to a food processor and pulse just until chopped. Pour onto a plate.
  • Pour the honey or maple syrup onto a separate plate.
  • Cut the brie wheel into eighths. Slice each triangle in half to create two triangles.
  • Stick a salami stick in the center of the curve in each brie piece.
  • Dip the brie cheese side into honey then gently press into the pecan cranberry mixture.
  • Place on a lovely tray. Serve alone or with crostini or crackers.

Notes

  • Be sure to see post for recipe variations.
  • Use pretzel sticks instead of salami sticks.
  • These should be eaten once placed out for a party.
  • Make ahead, cover tightly and store for up to 24 hours prior to party.
