what dessert to make for work

womet

Every month, I make a dessert to bring into work for a meeting we have. I usually make cakes or cupcakes, because they are easier for me to transport. I asked the woman leading the meeting this month what she'd like me to bring in, and she said that she doesn't eat cake (um, who the heck doesn't eat cake?) or peanut butter. I'd like to accomodate this, but I can't think of something to make.

Any suggestions? Links to recipes, appreciated. Thanks!

I just made something incredibly easy for a Super Bowl party - Oreos dipped in brownie mix and baked. Would that work?

That sounds delicious, but it's very similar to brownies I made a few months ago that are chocolate chip cookie dough, oreos and brownie batter. {OMG, those were absolute heaven. And people in the office raved about them.}

Oatmeal fudge bars are a hit at my office. I leave the nuts out and melt the chocolate mixture in the microwave. Its better to slightly underbake. And if you're creative, you can make designs out of the oatmeal mixture that you add to the top of the chocolate layer. I've made a flower, double rings for a bridal shower, 40 for a Birthday, etc.

1 (12 oz.) package chocolate chips                    1 (15 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

3 Tablespoons margarine                                   ? cup nuts (chopped)

2 teaspoons vanilla

                Melt chips, margarine, and milk.  Add vanilla and nuts.  Let cool.

1 cup margarine                                                                    2 ? cups flour

2 cups brown sugar                                                             1 teaspoon soda

2 eggs                                                                                    1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla                                                                3 cups quick oatmeal

? cup chopped nuts

                Cream sugar, margarine, and eggs.  Add vanilla.  Add flour, soda, salt, nuts, and oatmeal.  Pat 2/3 of this mixture in the bottom of a greased 10 x 16 inch pan.  Pour chocolate mixture over this.  Sprinkle remaining dough over the chocolate.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-23 minutes.  Do not overbake.

Ahh this was what I was going to suggest. I made them for the superbowl and everyone raved about them.

This chocolate chip cookie delight is amazing...but it does need to be refridgerated.

Or how about M&M blondies, you could do Valentine's m&ms

What about creamhorns? I used thick wooden dowels instead of the creamhorn molds because I couldn't find them. They were pretty easy and very yummy:

I make granola bars with enough sweet stuff in them that people mistake them for a dessert.
