Bakeless Bake Sale Ideas?

Bakeless bake sales are the new big thing at my daughter's high school. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Annie Wilkes Barre, PA Editor's Note: Although our readers sent in a lot of goodies that don't have to be baked, the idea behind a "bakeless" bake sale is to donate the money you would have put into baking an item instead of sending something in.

No bake chocolate oatmeal cookies of course immediately comes to mind. Any kind of chocolate is good - fudge, candies, popcorn balls, choc or yogurt dipped fruit, etc

Cheesecakes are the #1 bakeless cake. Line the bottom of the dish you make the cheesecake in with wax paper so it won't stick and help your cheesecake look better once out of the dish. You could buy those small paper plates and put a slice on each plate and wrap with plastic wrap and keep a couple cheesecakes whole to sell.

Oatmeal cookies are another bakeless desert. The only cooking done is 4 minutes on the stove top to cook the oatmeal. Another quick tip, if you buy a back of Chips Ahoy cookies and stick them in the oven for just a few minutes, it'll melt the chips down and make them look homemade. Hope this helps some! ~*~Anna~*`

This is from Food Network (Alton Brown). I halved the recipe because there is only 2 of us and I didn't know how it would turn out, so I used approx. a 6 x 6-inch pan. Next time I won't halve the recipe, because it is yummy!

PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
1 C butter, plus more for greasing pan
1 C peanut butter (I used 1/4 Honey Roast Creamy PB by Peter Pan and 3/4 regular creamy PB)
1 tsp vanilla
1 pound powdered sugar

Microwave butter and peanut butter for 2 minutes on high. Stir and microwave on high for 2 more minutes. Add vanilla and powdered sugar to PB mixture and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. Pour into a buttered 8 x 8-inch pan lined with waxed paper. Place a second piece of waxed paper on the surface of the fudge and refrigerate until cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

How about 'Dirt Cups'? In styrofoam cups, alternate layers of chocolate pudding & layers of finely crushed Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies, with gummy worms dangling out over the sides of the cups. Can decorate top with a cute plastic flower or cute edible flower if you're talented. These should go over well with the kids. Keep them chilled till ready to serve.

(my sister served these once at a birthday party, everyone thought they were awesome! Parents and kids alike!)

This is a delicious snack mix that you can mix up and put in baggies to sell: 4 cups salted peanuts, 1 cup M&M's, 1 cup whole almonds, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup chopped dates, 1/4 cup shelled sunflower seeds.
This makes 16 1/2 cup servings. Store in covered container. I used to make this and put it in bags to give my neighbors at Christmas time - they all loved it! It really is good and easy.

Check out some recipies at www.eaglebrand.com/recipes.asp A lot of the fudge and candy recipies are no-bake and easy to make (not to mention yummy!)
I love making the fudge (white, milk, or dark chocolate) and adding all kinds of stuff - whatever I have on hand - like coconut, dried fruit bits, toffee bits, etc. to make it more interesting.

Oh and here's my favourite truffle recipe, using Nutella:
Melt together one small jar of nutella, one cup of chocolate chips, and one can of sweetened condensed milk. (this will be thick and hard to stir, but keep at it!)
Remove from heat and stir in one teaspoon of vanilla.
Chill mixture in fridge until firm
Roll into balls. You can put a whole hazelnut in the middle, if you like. Then roll the balls in cocoa, icing sugar, or finely chopped nuts.

The whole idea of a "bakeless bake sale" was all new to me. I googled it and among many others got this

Thanks for the idea.

flitch is the absolute #1 bakeless item. this is a coal region classic. also known as potato candy. you do not need to use potato, although you can. google this recipe and you'll be sure to make$$$$$$
ps. roll the sugar dough between two pcs wax paper and chill for about 10 min before spreading peanut butter.

Homemade Chocolate covered preztels rods, easy to make and there is no baking involved.

You can purchase many different colors, flavors of dipping chocolates at your craft store. Plus you can dip them in just about any topping to give variety.

Then are very inexpensive to make as well.

Easy packaging ideas, don't work well as the party goodie bags that u use for children's birthday keeps them fresh (those types of bags are long enough to cover the pretzel rod). Or just colored plastic wrap.

Good luck!!!

Try doing like cookies or brownies in a jar:
In a mason jar layer all the dry ingredients for the recipe then attach a note card with the instuctions and the measurements of the wet ingredients they ned to add.

Have to second the easy peanut butter fudge, just made it for the first time in less than 10 minutes, and it was easy and delicious, just 1 cup of peanut butter and 1 container of vanilla frosting. Perfect, thanks for the recipe.
