    Brie, Pear and Almond Puffs

    Brie, Pear and Almond Puffs

    Ingredients

    1 Box Puff Pastry
    1 Brie Wheel
    3 Bosc Pears, Sliced
    ½ cup Sliced Almonds
    1 Egg, beaten with a little water

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a shallow baking dish with 1/2 an inch of water.

    Add pears to the water and roast for 10 minutes until soft. Remove from water and pat dry when finished.

    On a separate baking sheet spread out the almonds and bake for 3 minutes, max. The almonds will burn if left longer.

    Roll out the thawed puff pastry with a rolling pin. Cut into 1″x 1″ squares. In the center of each square, add a small cube of brie, some pear and a few almonds.

    Fold in the sides as desired (i made flowers with mine) and brush with egg wash to hold them closed.

    Placed on a prepared baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes until the puff pastry has risen and is golden brown.

    Serve hot or warm. For an extra fancy touch, add some honey and more toasted almonds as a garnish.

    1 cup Raw Shelled Peanuts
    1 cup Coconut, Shredded

    10 cups Popcorn
    2 tsp Kosher Salt
    1 cup Light Brown Sugar
    1 cup Light Corn Syrup
    4 tbsp Butter
    1 tbsp Distilled White Vinegar

    Directions

    Toasted Nuts

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss coconut, peanuts and pistachios on a large baking sheet. Bake, stirring once or twice until toasted, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

    Popcorn

    Cook your popcorn in any manner, follow the directions on the packaging.

    Caramel Sauce

    In a large sauce pot, combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, vinegar and salt.

    Using a candy thermometer, cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 300 degrees (approx. 20 minutes).

    While the mixture is cooking, combine the nuts and coconut with the popcorn on a large parchment paper lined baking sheet sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Prepare another large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with non stick spray, set aside.

    Spray the tines of two forks with non-stick cooking spray.

    When the caramel sauce reaches 300 degrees, set the thermometer aside and pour the mixture onto the popcorn and nuts. Use the two sprayed forks to combine. Work quickly.

    Once fully combined, transfer the popcorn to the other prepared baking sheet and spread out. Cool and let set for about 2 hours. Break and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container.

    *Note: You may use pre-made caramel sauce
