Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray cups of two 12-cup mini muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Roll out puff pastry sheet on a large, lightly floured cutting board into a horizontal rectangle. Use a pizza slicer to cut the pastry into 4 rows horizontally and 6 rows vertically so that you have 24 (2 1/2-inch) squares. Press dough squares into each mini muffin cup and prick with the tines of a fork. Cut Brie cheese into 24 cubes. Add a cube of Brie to each pastry cup.
• Drizzle honey over the cheese, being careful to keep the honey inside the dough cup. Top with chopped walnuts.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is puffed up and the corners are golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes.
• Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 3 minutes before transferring the bites to a serving dish.
