326645 Sun Sep 17 17:19:56 -0700 2006 11 31 Home Cooking 0 1882405 I need 3 recipes, for the next 3 Fridays :) Items are sold for 1 dollar a portion primarily to health care workers. Non-messy and easily portioned things would be best. Maybe things that could be served "on-a-stick"? Thanks! Lisa Sun Sep 17 17:19:56 -0700 2006 15764 LisaAZ 1 1882932 I have done many bake sales (lots in a hospital too!). Funny thing is that the things you wouldn't think of always seemed to sell the best- like pumpkin pie & Jewish apple cake. People really do enjoy, and choose, good chocolate chip cookies too. Mini cupcakes might be nice too, not as messy as full size. not sure about the stick thing.

Mon Sep 18 00:09:07 -0700 2006 1882405 10776 4chowpups 1 1883051 For on-the-stick bake sale ideas, how about: Giant M&M Cookie Pops http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=14812 and ... Rice Krispie Treats on a Stick Ingredients: 3 Tbs. butter 1 10-oz. pkg. regular marshmallows or 4 cups mini-marshmallows 6 to 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal 12 wooden popsicle sticks 1 pkg. chocolate chips Preparation: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring constantly until melted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cereal until it is well coated. Let the mixture cool until it is warm but comfortable to handle with the fingers. Lightly butter your hands, then shape the treats into 12 balls. Push a Popsicle stick into each one. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a metal bowl set over a pan of hot, but not boiling water. Holding the stick end, dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Set the coated treats on a waxed paper lined tray to cool. When the chocolate has hardened, wrap the treats in plastic wrap and tie with ribbon.

Mon Sep 18 17:25:56 -0700 2006 1882405 10681 piccola 1 1885764 I like the crispy treats on a stick idea, but maybe cupcakes are the way to go. Or I could do both.... I've noticed Red Velvet cupcakes making the rounds lately. Haven't had that since the early 80's at least! Does a cream cheese frosting go with those? On the other hand...has anyone made cupcakes in ice cream cones iwth the frosting piped on to look like soft serve? Thanks, Lisa Tue Sep 19 02:25:45 -0700 2006 1882405 15764 LisaAZ 1 1885784 I always post this for you Americans and seldom do any of you try it. I will try once again though. Nanaimo bars. They're a predominately Canadian thing. http://www.nanaimo.ca/visitors/index_inside.asp?id=189&parent=7&sub_collection=11 I love these things. Give 'em whirl. It'll be something new for most people.

Tue Sep 19 12:10:31 -0700 2006 1885784 11128 pamd 2 1906585 Do you know of any recipes that don't use custard powder? It is rather hard to find here. Wed Sep 27 21:24:34 -0700 2006 1885784 11543 susu 3 1907878 No, I've never made them. Only enjoyed them. I can't believe you couldn't find one if you "googled" it. DT Thu Sep 28 12:41:57 -0700 2006 1906585 11291 Davwud 3 1907936 I think it is where the boxed jello is sold. Thu Sep 28 13:18:27 -0700 2006 1906585 11128 pamd 1 1886192 Pumpkin loaf. Portion slices and plastic wrap. And good! Tue Sep 19 12:33:49 -0700 2006 1882405 20128 morebubbles
