Work-Friendly Holiday Treats

Work-Friendly Holiday Treats

Want to be the employee of the month? Make treats and bring them to the office. What types of recipes are work-friendly holiday treats? Think sweets that grab and go, or small things that can be prepackaged. Peppermint mocha mix can be handed out to coworkers for an afternoon pick-me-up. A box of assorted Christmas cookies (like gingerbread, pecan tassies, or Pfeffernusse) is festive and delicious. Homemade candy will satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. Wrap fudge, chocolate nut clusters, or truffles in cellophane bags and leave them on everyone’s desk. These easy-to-transport desserts will brighten your colleague’s day.
