Easy Fiesta Christmas Tree Dip Recipe for Holiday Gatherings

[sarahmarie]

I found this in a file on this site. It looks too easy and too cute. I am making it tongiht for bible study!


Easy Fiesta Christmas Tree
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup salsa
1 green onion or cinnamon stick
1 yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup apricot preserves
crackers or nacho chips

Cut an 8 oz. rectangle of cream cheese on a diagonal. Place the straight sides together to form a triangle so it looks like a Christmas Tree, and smooth out the seam in the middle. Cut a star out of a yellow pepper using Creative Cutters and put it at the top of the cream cheese tree Mix together salsa and apricot preserves. Cover the cream cheese with this mixture. Make a tree trunk with a piece of a green onion or a cinnamon stick. When making this recipe, place the Tree with salsa mixture on a Medium or Small Square Simple Additions piece. Put that square on the Large Square Platter, turning it so that the smaller square is diamond-shaped inside the large square. In the four “pockets” of the large square, place crackers or nacho chips - the red/green ones in December add holiday color!

Thanks for sharing! It is a GREAT idea! But I would use a yellow cheese like cheddar) for the star instead of paper.
