Dessert ideas

I need to bring a dessert for a party on Sunday that has over 100 people coming. Any thoughts? I was looking on pinterest, but haven't found anything that is going to take forever. TIA!

Rice Krispies Treats - SO easy, and you can pick up disposable pans to make them in so that you don't have to worry about not having enough pans of your own to use. If you have time and a membership, hit one of the warehouse stores to see if they have Rice Krispies (or Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, etc) in bulk. Same for the butter and marshmallows.

What kind of dessert and what kind of party?

For bbq'syou could do some sort of traditional jello/pretzel thing or cream cheese brownies or blondies.

What I bring really depends on the occasion. Last time I took a dessert, I took a flourless chocolate gateau served with raspberries. I've also been known to take homemade (not from a box) brownies, apple  upside down cake, lemon meringue pie, and homemade ice cream (we have an ice cream maker).

It's an outside BBQ. I was thinking a trifle, but now that it's gonna be 90 on Sunday, I have to think of something else.

I would check out Kraft recipes for desserts.  They are usually quick to make and the ones that I have made are really good without requiring a ton of ingredients. 

Also, to our last picnic, I took mini cheesecakes, but for 100 that could take awhile.

cookies? too uninspiring?

What about those pretzels with the chocolate melted on them and an mm stuck in the middle...you could do them to look patriotic....

People seem to like jello salads at bbq's or I recommend blondies. They are easy to bake and there's less chance of people bringing blondies as opposed to brownies.

Since this is an outside event for that many people, I like LLHR's idea of rice krispie treats b/c I think they would be okay in the heat. If it's a memorial day party, you could always do something festive by food coloring them red, white and blue.

Are kids coming as well? I always liked when our good friends would make "dirt cake" for the kids. They would put it in a sand bucket with a shovel as the serving utensil. Oh and the gummy worms made it extra special!
