Here’s what you’ll need to create this ooey, gooey delight:

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

2. Use a bread knife to crosshatch bread into 1-inch sections without cutting all the way through.
3. Melt Sweet Holiday Butter in a dish and drizzle half of the butter into bread openings.
4. Remove most of the rind from brie and cut into 1-inch cubes. Insert into bread openings.
5. Spoon garlic cloves into bread openings next to cheese pieces.
6. Generously baste top of bread with remaining Sweet Holiday Butter.
7. Stuff cranberries into bread openings to taste.
8. Place bread in a cast iron skillet or on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread is toasted.
9. Let stand for 5 minutes, then serve!
