Cheap, Easy-To-Make Appetizers?

[snogged]

I have to bring in something for potluck on Thursday and I've got no clue what to bring in.
Usually, I would just do a chili cheese dip (cream cheese, chili, and cheddar cheese) along with some tortilla chips, but I'm not going to have an oven and I don't really want the hassle of trying to squeeze in a time slot with the work microwave.

So I'm looking for your tried and true recipes for work parties. Preferably, I'd rather do a dip over a dessert or pasta salad (because I really don't like pasta salad), but I'm open to anything.

I recently made this dip for a work potluck. If you like pickle wraps, it's pretty tasty on crackers:

I also have made those easy ranch-flavored oyster crackers a few times.

Pickle wraps are one of my most favorite things ever.
Definitely going to have to try this.

Ranch-flavored oyster crackers also sound good though.

I feel like Nora in HIMYM.

Pickle wrap? Oyster crackers?

I have no idea what any of these words mean!

Pickle wraps generally involve a pickle wrapped up with a slice of ham that's been slathered in cream cheese.

Oyster crackers get used in soups, but can also be eaten as snacks.

Mmmmmm I now want to make a pickle wrap! Do you mean like pickled gerkins? Mmmm, ham with philidelphia cheese and a gerkin in the middle? HEAVEN!

We don't have Oyster crackers in the UK! Not even anything like it. The nearest we have are croutons I suppose?

I'd say a gherkin would be a very close equivalent!

Oh man, pickle wraps are so effing delicious. We always make them with dried beef instead of ham. My mom always slices them up (like this) but when I'm having them for a snack I just eat the whole pickle. ;)

I can't believe you don't have oyster crackers over there!! The things I'm learning via LJ. I always have a bag in my cupboard because I love to mix them up with ranch flavoring for a snack. :D
