Anytime we have people over for football festivities, I like to have at least one recipe that is elevated a bit and not you’re typical chips and dip.

Pecan Praline Baked Brie
A stunning entertaining recipe ready in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) wheel of brie
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves, lightly toasted
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove the brie from any packaging and place it on a baking sheet (leave the rind on the cheese). Bake brie 12 to 15 minutes.
While the brie is baking, toast the pecans in a skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant; about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the corn syrup, butter, brown sugar; stirring constantly until bubbly. Add the heavy cream and continue to stir another 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add the pecans and set aside to cool.
Transfer the brie from the oven to a serving plate and when ready to serve, pour the warm praline sauce over the top.
Serve immediately with crackers, fruit, graham crackers, etc.
I like it with Ritz crackers but you could certainly serve with graham crackers if you want things to go in a more sweet direction, versus salty.
However, you choose to serve it will be a-okay with your guests once they take a bite. Don’t be surprised if you see someone sopping up the praline sauce left behind.
It has happened.
