    Fudge. Fast, easy, portable, make in the microwave, tons of recipes on Pinterest, sells like hot cakes!

    Thanks for the ideas! I'll ask the bake sale coordinator what they need and otherwise probably go with brownies...

    I used to make this melt-in-the-mouth oatmeal square. So delicious.

    Not remembering the recipe is actually probably a good thing because the two things I do remember is that they were so easy to make, and they had a whole lot of brown sugar. If I did remember the recipe, they'd probably be appearing on my counter ... and then quickly disappearing ... each week.

    Anyway there are a lot of interesting and different squares and slices out there. :)

    Yeah but it has to appeal to kids, lol. There'll be parents there too but yeah, probably mostly kids.

    Also, it probably should be nut free.

    in Ireland we make a lot of various 'tray bakes' they are basically a no cook treat that always go down...a treat :smiley:
    e.g Millionaires slices/ Malteser Squares/ Snowballs/Naniamo bars google any of these for recipe on BBC good food website and you'll see how easy they are to make :smiley:

    Actually, if you aren't into baking, here's another idea: just popcorn. Microwave popcorn, even. Pop some popcorn and put them in individual plastic bags. "Big" pint-sized bags are really good. Kids like popcorn, it's cheap to make, easy, and if the popcorn looks like the "biggest" thing on the table, kids tend to gravitate to it. Plus, it can be pretty healthy--and not all kids are big into sweets.

    Another idea is drinks or juice boxes. They tend to sell well and require little prep.

    Rice krispy treats always go fast. Bonus is they're fairly cheap and easy to make in large batches. You can sprinkle some colored sugar on top if you want to make them festive.

    I would eat the entire try. No doubt.

    I usually make one tray of vegan chocolate cupcakes- one bowl pantry ingredients (oil, cocoa, flour etc). I saw they were surprisingly popular due to kids that are non-dairy. Plus they are delish for all people! I just do a dusting of powdered sugar on top. Easy peasy.

    I would make something I like, but didn't want huge amounts sitting around the house. Snag a serving or two for yourself (like cookies) then you have an easy way to get rid of the rest!

    I made this for work at Hallowe'en -- it's a great gingerbread recipe (I've made it many times over the years), especially with a lemon glaze.
