I made this on Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit. I had never prepared or eaten brie before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm glad I gave it a try. Everyone loved it & wants me to make it again for Christmas.

I made this several years ago at Christmas because I needed to come up with an appetizer, the stores were closed, and i had these ingredients on hand. It was rich, flavorful, easy to make and tasted special. I've made it many times since, and haven't adjusted the recipe in any way (unusual for me). It has always generated compliments, and there are never leftovers. Thank you, Paula!

Is there anything you could use to substitute for the brandy?

You could possibly try substituting apple juice if you don't want to use alcohol. If you're just not a fan of brandy, you could use bourbon or dark rum, but it will change the flavor profile.
