Answer 2

Use mini, frozen phyllo dough cups, and arrange on a piece of tin foil or parchment on a cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put a teaspoon or so bit of brie cheese in each cup, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven (don't turn it off yet) and add 1/2 tsp red raspberry jam to each cup. Bake an additional 3 minutes and serve. Can be done in the office using a toaster oven, too. So delicious, just be careful, because they're hot when they come out.

2. Take whole water chestnuts, wrap in peppered bacon, secure with a toothpick, broil until crisp.
3. On a serving platter put a block of cream cheese (room temp), heavy sprinkle with coarse pepper. Pour Worcestershire sauce over the top and surround with crackers and 3 inch celery pieces. (dip in, but no double dipping)
