3. Cut the pastry into 24 squares about 2 inches wide and press each into a mini muffin tin.

5. Spoon about half a teaspoon of cranberry sauce over each piece of brie.

8. Let the bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
9. Serve warm, optionally garnished with chopped walnuts or fresh herbs.
10. Reheat leftovers in a 350 F oven for 8 to 10 minutes to restore crispness.
