If you have been reading this blog for awhile, you know I am a fan of appetizers – especially appetizers that are easy to throw together but are delicious and impressive.  Like these Bacon Wrapped Dates, or these Cranberry Brie Mini Tarts.

I’m a big fan of using these mini phyllo cups, because they are so easy to use and they make super cute and delicious appetizers.  Not only did I use them in my Cranberry Brie Mini Tarts, but I also used them in these Pomegranate Goat Cheese Mini Tarts and these Easy Mini Baklava Cups. You can find these pre made phyllo cups in the freezer section at the grocery store.
