Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.
coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick baking spray and set aside.
Roll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into an 8x12-inch rectangle.
Using a 2-inch cookie or biscuit cutter, cut into 24 rounds and press them into the mini muffin pan.
Using a fork, prick the bottom of each pastry round in 2 or 3 places.
Top each pastry round with a teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
Cut the brie into 24 pieces and place each one over the cranberry layer in each pastry cup. Crumble the cooked bacon on top and bake for18 to 20 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and the corners are golden brown.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.

To make the brie easier to cut, chill it in the freezer for 10 minutes before starting.
To keep the bacon from burning, cook it through instead of until crispy.
If your bacon is crispy before baking your brie bites, add it before the cranberry sauce instead of on top.
Use whole-berry cranberry sauce, not the canned variety that comes jellied and solid.
If you don’t have puff pastry, you can use store-bought crescent dough in its place.
