Directions
Brie With Pear and Chocolate Wine Sauce, This will surely impress Mom this Sunday! A sweet and savory snack or great during Brunch, the creamy baby brie and sweet chocolate will create a one of a kind special day!, Delicious and different I found it more savory than sweet, but it may depend on how much of the chocolate wine sauce you drizzle on the bread I cheated and used packaged toasted sliced almonds and just sprinkled them with cinnamon and nutmeg Also sprinkled some of the spice directly onto the diced pears While used a nice red wine for the sauce, I think grape juice would be a fine substitute (and cheaper, too) My grocery store had a package of 8 small brie wedges and each wedge made 6 perfect-sized slices This was simple to prepare and much of it can be done ahead , I made this for a party and it was a hit! Though I did some things a bit differently and still YUMMY!!! For the chocolate used bittersweet chocolate chips which worked great! I could only find the spreadable brie cheese used over ripe pears from Mexico And used slivered almonds to toast I did not feel the need to warm these in the oven for 5 minutes either! My Mom especially was just in heaven couldn’t stop eating these! Oh- and I dusted a very light bit of all-spice over the finished product, which made them look prettier (as in your picture)! I would consider this a time consuming appetizer to put together, but it was worth it! Some of my guests thought this tasted more like a dessert, I think they fair perfect as an appetizer! Thanks for sharing!
