Awesome appetizer. It is so easy to make that my nine year old can make it himself. He loves to have it for dinner with crackers. When I am out of pecans, I top it with sliced almonds. If you are looking for a super easy appetizer that will be a hit with everyone, this is it. Thanks for the recipe. -
This was fabulous! So creamy sweet. I served it with crackers. Much easier then the brie I top with apricot preserves stuffed in puff pastry. I bought a large wheel, slice it in half then sliced the half lengthwise, put it together to form a circle cut side up. As you see in my picture. This is a must for all to make.
