Appetizers needed for the Holidays

I have made this before & it is good

(From momsinablog.com)

/></p> <p>This colorful tree-shaped appetizer is a tasty variation of the veggie tray. It’s a fun addition to a holiday buffet, potluck, or party.</p> <p>2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls<br/> 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened<br/> 1/2 cup sour cream<br/> 1 teaspoon Watkins Dill Weed<br/> 1/8 teaspoon Watkins Garlic Powder<br/> 3 cups finely chopped assorted vegetables (green, red, and yellow bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, cucumber, tomatoes, and green onions)</p> <p>1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove dough from cans in rolled sections; do not unroll. Cut each section into 8 slices (16 slices from each can).<br/> 2. Place slices, cut side down, on ungreased cookie sheets to form trees. To form each tree, start by placing 1 slice for top; arrange 2 slices just below, with sides touching. Continue arranging row of 3 slices, then row of 4 slices, ending with row of 5 slices. Use remaining slice for trunk. Refrigerate one tree while the other bakes.<br/> 3. Bake one tree 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute; carefully loosen with pancake turner and slide onto cooling rack to cool. Bake and cool second tree.<br/> 4. Place each tree on serving platter. In small bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, dill and garlic powder; blend until smooth. Spread mixture over both trees. Decorate trees with assorted vegetable pieces. Refrigerate until serving time. To serve, pull apart slices of tree.</p> <p>Make tree garland using thin strips or slices of red bell pepper. Cut star for top of tree from yellow bell pepper.</p>
