These yummy little appetizers almost taste like dessert. They are always a big hit at parties. —Marilyn McSween, Mentor, Ohio

Ingredients:
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1/2 cup cherry preserves
• 4 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 2 tablespoons minced chives

Directions:
Unfold puff pastry; cut into 36 squares. Gently press squares onto the bottoms of 36 greased miniature muffin cups.

Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make a 1/2-in.-deep indentation in the center of each. Bake 6-8 minutes longer or until golden brown. With spoon handle, press squares down again.

Spoon a rounded 1/2 teaspoonful of preserves into each cup. Top with cheese; sprinkle with nuts and chives. Bake for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
