I have been asked to bring "finger" dessert to a 6th grade house party...any ideas?

Question

The house party is a after Cotillion party. One of the parents is throwing an after party at his house with the kids dressed casually. Hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill...it's 50 degree's here

Answer 1

I'm thinking cupcakes! What I think your hostess is saying is to bring a dessert that doesn't require a spoon, knife or fork. You can make cupcakes in your favorite flavor and then doll them up when you frost them. Or, how about a great chocolate chip cookie bar? Oatmeal raisen cookies half dipped in chocolate are good too. Have fun!

Answer 5

Go to the store and get a nice variety of Little Debby cakes, all sorts of flavors and put them on a plate. Kids love that stuff. Favorites are white cakes with strawberry filling, caramel crunch bars, chocolate cakes with chocolate filling and white cakes with various fillings. To me, anything with chocolate! You might throw in some sliced fruit on skewers, with a chocolate fountain, but it would be messy, I promise, and the kids would not like it as much.

Answer 6

You can bring an assortment of ice cream,yogurt or fruit bars and this will avoid a lot of food allergies also.
