Quick Christmas Treats For The Office Potluck

Uh oh. You just remembered that your work Christmas party is tonight and you are supposed to bring a treat to share. You have no time and limited funds, but still want to make something that everyone will love. Lucky for you, I did the research in advance and here are the 10 best Quick Christmas Treats I found.

1. Chocolate Dipped Oreos

This is ridiculously easy. You just have to take a package of oreos (my personal favorite are the thin, mint oreos) and dip them in melted chocolate. We tried both white and milk chocolate and the white chocolate dipped oreos were by far the favorite. Finish them by adding some holiday sprinkles and stick them in the fridge to harden the chocolate.

2. Candy Cane Popcorn

Pop a bag of popcorn and pour some melted white chocolate over the top. Next add candy cane crumbles. Mix it together and you have a sweet and salty treat to share.

3. Christmas Light Chocolate Bark

White chocolate is a Christmas staple. Melt the chocolate and pour it out on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Make sure it is spread evenly on the sheet and then let cool in the fridge. Pipe green chocolate melts onto the white chocolate surface to look like the string. Cut green Mike and Ikes in half to make the top of the Christmas light and stick it to the top of a peanut M&M. You can use the leftover green chocolate to make then stick together. Next, stick the light to the white chocolate using the green chocolate melts. Super cute treat to wow all your coworkers!

4. Pretzel M&M Hugs

Set kisses on top of a pretzel and put them in the oven for about four minutes at 200 degrees. When you take them out, push red and green M&Ms into the top before they cool. These treats are bite size and easy to grab and go.

5. Reindeer Brownies

Make brownies from the package and add pretzel antlers. Use mint chocolate chips for the eyes and nose and use melted chocolate as the glue and eyeballs. Almost too cute to eat!

6. Strawberry Santa

Cut the strawberries in half and pipe in vanilla frosting, either homemade or store bought. Add a little bit to the top for a pom pom and use black gel frosting for the eyes. No one is too old for a little Santa themed treat!

7. Chocolate Almond Caramel Clusters

Melt caramel squares over the stove. Place clusters of about 7-10 almonds together on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to put caramel on each cluster and stick in the oven to cool. Melt milk chocolate and dip the caramel almond clusters in the chocolate. Allow to cool once more and they are ready to share!

8. Rice Krispie Trees

Make up a batch of Rice Krispie treats but adding green food coloring. As the treats cool, shape them into little christmas trees. Decorate with white frosting and colorful candies. Everyone gets their own little Christmas tree!

9. Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers

Press two Ritz crackers together with peanut butter in the middle. Dip in milk chocolate and decorate with Christmas sprinkles. Allow to cool for around 15 minutes. These are easy to create and quite delicious!

10. Peppermint Fluff Dip

All this takes is a container of marshmallow fluff, 8 oz. of cream cheese, 1 tsp of peppermint oil, and crushed peppermints. Combine it all together and bring graham crackers for a dessert thats a little different, but still incredibly tasty.

With any of these treats you can spend little money and time, but still be a hit at any Christmas party during the season. Good luck!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
