ingredients
1 can (11 ounce size) refrigerated crusty French loaf
butter-flavor cooking spray
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 package (8 ounce size) reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), softened
2 teaspoons almond extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 bag (10 ounce size) frozen blackberries, thawed, well drained
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted, coarsely chopped*

directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake French loaf as directed on can. Cool 5 minutes.
Cut ends off loaf; cut loaf crosswise into slices, about 1/2-inch thick. Arrange slices on ungreased cookie sheet. Spray each slice with cooking spray until lightly coated; sprinkle with granulated sugar. Return to oven; bake 8 to 10 minutes longer or until lightly toasted.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat cream cheese, almond extract and 1/4 cup powdered sugar with electric mixer on low speed until well combined.
Spread cheese mixture evenly onto toasted bread slices. Top each with 3 or 4 blackberries; sprinkle with almonds. With small strainer, sprinkle 3 tablespoons powdered sugar over bruschetta.
* To toast almonds, spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350 degrees F 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Coarsely chop.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

These turned out wonderfully! I used Fresh Blackberry halves and Diced Strawberries for the fruit and they were delicious! I put the strawberries around the edges and two blackberry halves in the center to make for a pretty appetizer. Everyone at the party said I have to make them every time from now on! Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.
