What a pair! Brie cheese chunks and chopped pears cozy up with sweetness and spice in these out-of-this-world party pleasers.

Ingredients

1: can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated Crescent Dough Sheet

1: pear, peeled, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)

1: tablespoon packed brown sugar

1/8: teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne), if desired

1: tablespoon honey

1: round (8 oz) Brie cheese, rind removed, cut into 24 (1/2-inch) chunks

1/3: cup finely chopped pecans

Steps

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Grease or spray 24 mini muffin cups. Unroll dough on work surface; press into 12x8-inch rectangle. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows to make 24 squares. Gently press squares into mini muffin cups (dough will not completely cover inside of cup; do not press too much).
2 In small bowl, mix pear, brown sugar, red pepper and honey. Place 1 cheese chunk in each cup. Top with 1 heaping teaspoon pear mixture. Sprinkle with pecans.
3 Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until edges are deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from muffin pans. Serve warm.
