For the adults, this blackberry preserved stuffed brie, wrapped in puff pastry. Perfect with a glass of wine while movie watching. To add to the evening’s fun, I decorated it with pear slices and berries for the eyes and almond slices for gnarly teeth. I wrapped around the puff pastry to resemble a mummy’s bandages. It made all the difference and brought a few smiles to my family.
Be safe, make it fun and enjoy your Halloween at home!
