    A crunchy, creamy, salty, sweet, bite-sized appetizer kicked up a notch with a little cherry jalapeno jelly.

    For Thanksgiving I fell in love with the Baked Brie Bites topped with cranberry jelly from A Spicy Perspective. Since the Big Game is this weekend, I thought it would be fun to kick it up a notch and do a cherry jalapeno version.

    A couple of years ago, I made a luscious Brie En Croute with a cranberry pepper jelly and candied nuts. These Baked Brie Bites are essentially the same appetizer only in an easy to serve, bite-size portion. And they so much easier to make because they start with frozen fillo shells.

    Add these to your menu for the big game. You’ll be glad you did.

      How fun these would be to pop in my mouth, with that little bite from the heat.

      Perfect party food! I don’t have the cherry jalapeno, but I have some apricot habanero that will do in a pinch. And that gives me a great idea of what kind of jam I’m making next summer when cherries and jalapenos are in season!

      These look so delicious! I love those little frozen filo cups 🙂 I have not seen cherry jalapeno jelly in my area. Did you make that or buy it? If you bought it, can you tell me where please? Thanks!

        I bought it at my favorite grocery store in my area Harmons. The company is a Utah company but they do ship. http://www.pepperlane.com/
