I had these at a friend’s party a while ago and knew I needed to make them. These make the perfect, simple appetizer, lunch or snack. I will make this when I need an quick and easy, healthy dinner recipe to make for my family. And at only 160 calories per serving, you can enjoy it too.
These are super easy to prepare and perfect for those hectic weeknights. You know, those nights when your kids all need to be in three different places at the same time and you need to whip something up fast? Yup, one of those nights. I used the Mini Brie Bites from Trader Joe’s. They are portion-controlled and only 70 calories each. How could these be any easier? These are also the perfect, healthy appetizer to eat while you watch your favorite football game.
