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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
