APRICOT BRIE BITES

APRICOT BRIE BITES

I have not had these, but I have to say they look amazing and pretty simple!  I love brie and I love apricots so this is a no brainer.  Olivia made these delightful bites of sweet and creamy deliciousness and I'm sure you will want to try them.  This might possibly be a lovely appetizer for your Easter meal or a light snack for a party or carry-in.  

This recipe brings back wonderful memories from when I was a child and my grandparents used to get bushels of apricots from Michigan and send them to somewhere to have them canned in metal cans.  I can remember going to their basement when I went to their house as a child and bringing a can upstairs to open.  Inside was the sweetest, ripest, most wonderful fruit you can imagine.  If you are as big a fan of apricots as I am, you can't go wrong with this winning recipe.
