Golden Chicken Brie and Cranberry Turnovers

Take your pick of nine delicious, easy-to-make party delights in our "Fantastic Finger Foods" collection in the January 2007 issue of Canadian Living magazine -- also featuring a helpful cocktail party planner.

Mango & Passion Fruit Crumble Bars

With a crumbly oat crust and a juicy fruit filling, these bars are a burst of flavour. Pair them with our Mango & Passion Fruit Margarita.

Cheddar and Cranberry Phyllo Bundles

Crisp baked bundles with a gooey filling and hint of cranberry will be the talk of your holiday gathering.

Summer Orchard Tart

This simple tart has a barely there pastry that allows summer's juiciest orchard fruits to shine. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a splash of Armagnac for a luxurious finish.

Scotch Shortbread with Sour Cherries

Dried cranberries and blueberries, or a combination, are also tasty (and equally festive) in this classic style of tender shortbread. 

Mini Italian Pizza Bites

If you're not a fan of smoked cheese, use pizza mozzarella, Gouda or Fontina.

Banana Chocolate Chip Brownies

Bananas along with bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate take these dense chocolate brownies to the next dimension of deliciousness.

Fruit Gelées

Fruity and sophisticated, these chewy candies are a special addition to any holiday dessert tray. As an added bonus, they're substantially less expensive than store-bought gelées and simple to make. Gelées must be refrigerated in the sugar to keep them nice and chewy.

Best Scottish Shortbread

Let this Scottish shortbread recipe be the only one you need for irresistibly buttery treats to enjoy during the most wonderful time of the year.
