I agree with this! I LOVE the brie!
 
The Brie is delish. I made it with the Dijon ingredients. My DSIL couldn't get enough! The Crab Rangoon Dip is again delish!! My mom was scrapping the mini baker on that one. I made the Wonton chips, but they were weird and not very tasty. I serve them with buttery crackers which was very good!!

I found the Mini Pesto pizzas a bit too dry for my taste.

I would stick with the current Season's Best to help get future bookings, but that's me! :)

I have to second the mini pesto pizzas. They're SO good and easy to make!
 
Tangy Pepper Pecan Brie! Just demo'ed it last night and it is easy and fabulous!
 
I liked the jerk chicken nachos. I did them last night, very easy and sooo good. I'm also doing it for this month's theme. Bites & Bevs!
 
Here's another vote for the Brie. I was skeptical at first, but I tried it the other night for DH and I and I LOVE it! I'm going to be pushing this at every show... I think it would be super easy even to make two or three versions at a large show, having guests help with each one.
