Berried Goat Cheese Crisps

As soon as I set my eyes on a similar recipe, I knew that I had to find an occasion to make these beautiful berry crisps myself.  Thanksgiving day was perfect! Tangy goat cheese sits atop a crispy pretzel crisp accompanied by tart blackberries and is sweetly tempered with honey.  Trust me, these are heavenly.  Not only that, but they are quick and easy to make.  The only problem was that I should have doubled the amount that I made!  There is no question that these Berried Goat Cheese Crisps are going to be a new holiday tradition at my house.

Berried Goat Cheese Crisps

1 (10oz.) box Sea Salt Pretzel Thins

2 (4oz.) blocks goat cheese (if you can find honey goat cheese, it's even better)

2 (6oz.) boxes fresh blackberries

1 bottle/jar quality honey

On a medium platter, lay out as many pretzel thins as you have blackberries.  Place a small glob of goat cheese on each cracker - about 1-2 tsp.  Gently press 1 blackberry on top of (each) goat cheese.  Immediately before serving, drizzle each serving with honey.  Lastly, get out of the way quickly, because these are going to go FAST!

Enjoy (while you can)!

*TIPS*  This appetizer should be assembled just before serving, because you don't want the cracker to get soggy.  Soggy crackers are not fun.  Alternatively, you could set out the ingredients like they did here, but it could get messy.   Also, the better quality berries, cheese, and honey you use, the better this will taste.  We used MontChevre Honey goat cheese the first time, and an off brand of regular the second.  The off brand was a little more goat-y.  We also prefer to use our raw honey from our hives over anything store-bought, but we are a little biased ;)
