| Fruit, brownies, whipped cream |
| Grill peaches and add some fresh cream, delicious |
| I was at a party this afternoon. People brought various small cut up treats- smore bars/ chocolate peanut butter chip bars/ brownies. They were great because you could walk around with them on a napkin while socializing and I got to try several types. |
| I would love lemon meringue or key lime pie or strawberry cobbler or strawberry rhubarb- yum! |
| Some sort of cake with fruit like strawberry shortcake |
| Fruit tart |
| I make pineapple upside down squares and they are always gone by the end of the party. |
| Berry, apple, peach, any fruit cobbler. |

Hand pies. All of the goodness of pie, way less mess and fuss. https://smittenkitchen.com/2008/08/bourbon-peach-hand-pies/ See also: slab pies. https://smittenkitchen.com/2009/07/sour-cherry-slab-pie/ Pie crust is so easy: https://smittenkitchen.com/2019/03/extra-flaky-pie-crust/
Look up any recipe on that site and you'll have a winner. You could also go with cookies, brownies, or bars, but pie crust says effort without being much effort, and pre-portioned pieces means no messy cutting or itty bitty tiny slices and glop that spills out. |
Melon and Italian cookies are both two great disappointments in the food world. |
Those sound amazing. Are they messy or do you have a recipe that makes them turn out (see what I did there) pretty tidily? |
| Always something hand held like bars, cookies, mini whoopie pies, oatmeal cream sandwich cookies. |
| Brownies, watermelon and other fruit, banana pudding |
| Make a trifle! |
Grilled peaches, ice cream, homemade granola on top. Perfect! Leftover grilled peaches (if any) become salsa for fish tacos the next night(s) |
