[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brownies.  And vanilla ice cream if you're feeling fancy.  Everyone loves brownies. [/quote]

This. Add some chocolate and caramel syrup, whipped cream, and nuts.

I always take the same thing for potluck dessert - chocolate and vanilla ice cream and different toppings. Mini cookies, mini brownies, sprinkles, crushed pineapple, nuts, whipped cream.[/quote]

I'm not against ice cream sundaes as a dessert but this is not the most potluck friendly item. The host has to find a spot to store the ice cream until dessert and then take out a bunch of bowls and utensils to just serve the toppings. Then pack up everything at the end of the night. I don't have a lot of excess space in my freezer, especially when I'm hosting a party.

Brownies, bars, cookies,  etc. are great for potlucks because they only require a napkin and leftovers can stay on the plate they were served on.[/quote]

I always take utensils and bowls. There is usually not much leftover after everyone runs through. And…it’s a potluck. Everyone packs up the leftovers (if they’re are any) of what they brought. Also, I’ve never had an issue with bringing one or two gallons of ice cream. I’m not talking about ice cream for 50 people.[/quote]
