What to make for a Bake Sale?

[MamaBee]

Next weekend, my Classical Conversation homeschooling group is having a huge bake sale as a fundraiser... what are things that go really well at a bake sale? And that are fairly easy to make... I really don't care to bake, but I'm doing it for the children...

Special K bars. Carrot Cake cupcakes. Frosted Sugar Cookies.

Ice cream cone cupcakes- we use a red m and m on top to look like a cherry

or
chocolate covered pretzel rods with sprinkles- super easy. Just package in threes, covered in saran wrap and tied with curling ribbon

Well, it depends on where the bake sale is. Mostly kids or adults? I usually can't resist a rice krispie treat, though!

Easy Homemade in the Microwave Caramels

A friend of mine made these and says they're AWESOME. S'mores Bars

Cookie Dough Bites

I've made these- easy and DELISH. Homemade Twix Bars

These look ADORABLE: Brownie-sicle Pops

Homemade Lofthouse Cookies... in a bar-form? EASY! (I've made these and they're awesome.)

Puppy Chow

Trail Mix- We usually have this on-hand at home. This week we have raisins, peanut butter chips, dark chocolate chips, M&Ms, peanuts, craisins, sunflower seeds. You can also add pretzels, marshmallows, almonds, cereals. Put it in a baggie with a pretty bow and voila!

[lorigaud]

Brownies, cupcakes, muffins, rice krispie treats and the pretzels dipped in chocolate are all great ideas and pretty easy to do.

Up here whoopie pies are a huge seller...

Things that "go" are clearly labeled what they are and if they do or don't contain nuts. Also things that are packaged nicely. I also see a lot of mini loaves of bread (banana, zuchinni or something else) go at my church.

Brownies are always popular here, swirled if possible. Cookies too, but I prefer brownies, one bowl, one pan, one trip to the oven. nice & easy.

swirled... you mean like the ones with cream cheese or caramel?

[Robin Carlton]

Brownies for sure. I <3 brownies.

[staciahall]

You can put peppermint patties on top of brownies after they come of the oven, cover with foil for a few minutes, then swirl after they are melted. Makes them pretty and kind of frosted.

I also put creme de menthe chips into my brownie mix.

[lingovise]

big huge ginormous brownies.
put me down for 2 [dozen] ;D

[YepBrook]

Oh yes, brownies! I am especially tempted when people take the time to sprinkle confectioners sugar on top of them.
