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...

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

It will be held during a rummage sale (proceeds going to the group)... they are also grilling hot dogs and selling soda...

All these things look pretty easy to make!! THANKS!!

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.

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.
