Festive Caramel Bars
When's the last time you went to a bake sale?
For me, it's been too long. But in May, my church is having one, and I can't wait.
A nice reader named Carol Burger recently shared a recipe for Festive Caramel Bars (loaded with M&Ms) that will be perfect for the church bake sale. By the way, look for the caramel bars recipe in an upcoming Tulsa World article.
Beyond caramel bars, I will probably make cookies because they're so easy to package and maybe a cake since it might bring in more money.
What are your favorite bake sale desserts? Or what would you like to see at a bake sale?
Here are a few tips from the book "The Best Bake Sale Cookbook."
Presentation. Food that "shows well" will sell well. Decorated cupcakes, Bundt cakes and lemon bars are all good choices.
Portability. If it doesn't travel well, forget it. Chocolate mousse isn't going to be good if it has to sit around for hours.
Portions. When cutting or dividing, think big. Bigger portions look like they're worth the money.
