Brie with Pecan Syrup

Directions

1. 1
   Put pecans in a small saucepan over medium low heat to toast.
2. 2
   Toast pecans for 2-3 minutes, careful not to burn.
3. 3
   Once pecans are toasted, add the brown sugar and Kahlua to the pan with the pecans, mix until combined.
4. 4
   Allow ingredients to melt over the heat, 2-3 minutes.
5. 5
   Scrape top of wheel of brie with a fork, just to rough up the surface and remove some of the rind.
6. 6
   Place brie into a lipped dish (like a pie plate), top with the pecan mixture.
7. 7
   Microwave brie in 30 second increments until soft, but not oozing out (it usually takes me 3-4 30-second go-rounds in the microwave).
8. 8
   Serve with crackers.
9. 9
   (I like to serve with buttery crackers like Club Crackers, or with Plain Water Crackers)

    Tip for Taking to a Party: When I take this to a party, I take the brie, the dish, and the premade pecan mixture all separate.
11. 11
    Then I assemble it at the party.

    It is fine to keep the pecan mixture at room temperature once it is made.
