Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
3 cups chopped assorted fresh vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, green onion, black olives, etc.)

Steps:

Heat oven to 375.
Remove dough from cans in rolled sections (2 sections from each can); DO NOT UNROLL.
Cut each section into 8 slices (16 slices from each can).
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 a row of 3 slices, then a row of 4 slices, ending with a row of 5 slices.
Use the remaining slice for the trunk.
Refrigerate one tree.
Bake one tree for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool one minute; carefully loosen with spatula and slide onto wire rack to cool.
Bake and cool second tree.
Place each tree on a platter.
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, dill and garlic powder; blend until smooth.
Spread the mixture over both trees.
Decorate the trees with assorted vegetable pieces.
Refrigerate until serving time.
To serve, just pull apart the slices of the tree.
