My office does the 12days of christmas count down Treats for 12 days, I have the 21st. Today someone made a spinch dip, we have had cream puffs, cheese balls & crackers, Pepperage farm cookies.
Any one have some healthy treat or a yummy treat I could bring?

What about baba ghanoush served with pita bread?
If you prefer something with individual servings opposed to something that is shared, what about chicken satay. You'd have to reheat it, but it should still taste good.
Or what about fruit skewers?
Crap...I Mean Crafts
I like the fruit skewers idea! Put strawberries/pineapple skewers together and make a chocolate dip. Then put grapes/cantaloupe together and make that marshmallow creme dip.
Festive Feta dip:
7 oz roasted red peppers, packed in water, drained
1 pound(s) 1/3 less-fat cream cheese, two 8-oz blocks, softened, cut up
4 oz reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
1 large garlic clove(s), peeled
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
3 Tbsp dill, fresh, chopped
1/4 cup(s) dill, fresh, whole sprigs
10 1/2 oz baked low-fat tortilla chips
This has 3pts with weight watchers per serving
Or, anything by Ellie Krieger

This is definitely NOT healthy... but a christmas favorite my former roommate always made for our holiday party!
Mack a chex mix with red/green m&m's, pretzals, cereal, etc.
Pour melted white chocolate on it and mix together in a big bowl. Then spread the mixture out on wax paper and let it cool. Then break it apart and serve in a big bowl. It looks festive since it is white, red and green and it is sooooo good!
