This recipe is so rich, so decadent, it can only be made for special occasions (because the calorie count will break my calorie bank on a normal day!) Even the picky "foodie" sister liked it - and that's saying a lot! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I didn't use the Brie cheese just doubled the monterey jack. Brought it to a family christmas party and it was a hit. My picky husband who dosen't eat dips finished it when we got home!
