what is a good food item to bring to a pot luck for the last day of the job.?

Question

tomarrow is the last day for us working this specific job and we are having a potluck. i picked " dessert " what are some ideas ?

Answer 1

What I found that is always a hit, is a baked cheesecake. Or how about being that its the time of year is a pumpkin roll. Yum.

Answer 2

I'm glad you specified dessert, as I was going to mention the ubiquitous casserole. Nothing wrong with casseroles per se, except that when they stand too long on the buffet table and everyone dips into them, they become less and less appetizing and could harbor some nasty little microbes.

I usually bring brownies as a dessert for a potluck. They are simple enough to make from a prepared mix, and you can add walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips, peanut butter or mini marshmallows, or any combinations thereof, to create your own "masterpiece". Brownies stay fresh and uncontaminated, and when they're gone, they're gone. You don't have an icky casserole to wash when you've carried it back home. It's rare that any brownies would be left over, but if they are -- just take them home and have an extra treat for yourself.

You might need a double recipe of this..can use other flavor instant puddings if prefered.
