Oatmeal raisin cookies and add cranberries for color, or make pumpkin cookies. You could also buy something.

Key lime would be perfect for this last bit of warm weather.

I started subsituting (inspired by that DCUM thread) -- butter instead of oil, milk instead of water, and I very slightly undercook. Oh my god. incredible. Took them to a school event recently and they disappeared within minutes.

This. I like to swirl in some good quality raspberry jam. Top with fresh raspberries if you like and cut into very small squares. People love them.

Someone else is bringing fruit salad. I just want something yummy and easy. Brownies might be a good idea. Any way I could elevate them, maybe with frosting?


I know this isn’t helpful but I would
seriously side-eye someone bringing fruit salad if tasked with a dessert

I was also thinking to make a boxed dessert. You could grab boxed pumpkin bread mix or banana bread mix from Trader Joe's.

I’m the brownie PP. You could sprinkle powdered sugar on top, drizzle with salted caramel, or top with a cream cheese frosting. Or sprinkle crushed peppermints on top. I like them plain though!

I need to bring a dessert to a potluck (mainly adults) tomorrow and don't have a lot of time. Looking for suggestions for something fairly easy that's a crowd pleaser. Thanks!
