Cranberry Brie Bites on Baguette

Cranberry season has arrived! If you’re like most people, the first thing that comes to mind when you think about this tart ingredient is the classic Thanksgiving side dish. However, it’s time to think beyond cranberry sauce and elevate this nutritious and delicious holiday staple.

Finally, top these little bites with a homemade cranberry topping made from whole cranberries, honey and orange zest, along with a sprinkle of fresh basil and black pepper. With so many flavors and textures, you won’t believe that these delicious little bites fit into your weight loss goals!
