Ok. So. Every year I volunteer to bake for our local Hospice and Palliative Care Bake Sale. I love baking and enjoy trying new recipes. I was wondering if anyone had some great cookie/cake/pie/cupcake/anything else you can think of that you might possibly buy at a Bake Sale. I am trying to steer clear of any foods with peanut butter or any sort of nut products so any recipes without them will be greatly appreciated. I will accept recipes in any form whether you type out the recipe or you have some websites you know of that have good recipes anything and everything (except foods with nuts) will be very appreciated! Thanks!!<br />

I just this second put down my newest issue of "Woman's Day" magazine, that came today (Sept. 16 issue). It has a whole section on special Bake Sale items - recipes and how to display them for sale. They look really good too! I'm sure you can find that issue on their website
 
Nick's 'Supernatural' Brownies-MAKES 24 BROWNIES

16 tbsp. unsalted butter,
plus more for greasing
8 oz. bittersweet chocolate,
cut into 1?4" pieces
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed dark brown
sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1?2 tsp. fine salt
1 cup flour


1. Heat oven to 350°. Grease a 9" x 13" baking pan with butter and line with parchment paper; grease paper. Set pan aside.


2. Pour enough water into a 4-quart saucepan that it reaches a depth of 1". Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Combine butter and chocolate in a medium bowl; set bowl over saucepan. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.


3. Whisk together eggs in a large bowl. Add sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt; whisk to combine. Stir in chocolate mixture; fold in flour. Pour batter into prepared pan; spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 30?35 minutes. Let cool on a rack. Cut and serve.
 
Cake
2 cups sifted flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup Dr Pepper
1/2 cup chocolate chips
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup vegetable oil
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Frosting
3/4 cup butter-flavored vegetable shortening
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 cups sifted powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup Dr Pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla


Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, tapping out any extra flour. Sift together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, cocoa and baking soda into a bowl and set aside. Pour the Dr Pepper into a saucepan and add the chocolate chips. Heat on low, stirring often, until the chips are just melted. Pull off the heat and set aside.

Combine the eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla in a mixer bowl and mix on medium speed until combined, about 2 minutes. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the Dr Pepper-chocolate mixture and continue beating until combined, about 1 minute.

With mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients. Increase speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more. Divide the batter between the 2 pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the layers in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and flip the pans over onto a cooling rack. Gently lift off the pans and let the cake layers cool completely.

To make frosting, beat shortening and butter in a mixer bowl until soft and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and cocoa, and continue mixing until combined. Stir together the Dr Pepper and vanilla and very slowly pour it into the frosting, beating with the mixer on high speed to thin it a bit. Continue beating until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

Set first layer, top down, on a flat plate. Spread 1 cup of the frosting on top. Top with the second cake layer and spread the rest of the frosting on the top and sides of the cake, making attractive swirls.

Yield 12 servings.

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES

24 paper liners
FOR THE CHEESECAKE BATTER
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FOR THE YELLOW CUPCAKE BATTER
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk, at room temperature
FOR SERVING
24 whole strawberries
1 1/3 cups apple jelly

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place paper liners in all wells of two 12-cup cupcake tins.

TO MAKE THE CHEESECAKE BATTER
In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners sugar and vanilla extract and beat until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl once or twice; set aside.

TO MAKE THE YELLOW CUPCAKE BATTER
Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl to aerate and combine; set aside.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl once or twice. Beat in vanilla extract. Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down after each addition, allowing each egg to be absorbed before continuing with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, and beat briefly until smooth on low-medium speed after each addition.

TO MAKE THE CUPCAKES
Divide the Yellow Cupcakes batter among the 24 cupcake wells. Top with cheesecake batter, dividing equally over the cake batter.

Bake for about 20 minutes. The cheesecake might crack a little, which is OK. The tops should look puffed and dry. They will not color. Cool cupcake tins on racks. Refrigerate at least overnight, still in cupcake tins.

Remove cupcakes from tins and place on jelly-roll pan to catch drips from subsequent topping. Rinse and pat strawberries dry. Hull them, then slice from top to bottom in very thin slices the thinnest they can be without falling apart. Fan out slices on top of cupcakes in whatever attractive patterns you like - a flower, straight across, fan-shaped.

Heat jelly in a small saucepan over low heat or in microwave until very fluid. Brush jelly over strawberries and cupcake surface. Chill to set jelly. Cupcakes are ready to serve.

I have made homemade fudge for bake sales for years and it has always been a very good seller. These recipes never fail and I make them all the time to give as gifts, as well.

This is a variation of Fantasy Fudge that is even better than the original. If you use vanilla extract in place of the liqueur, you have the Original Fantasy Fudge recipe.

Irish Crème Fudge

I also use other liqueurs in place of the Irish Creme such as Kahlua, bandy, Kirsch, spiced/flavored rum and the new flavors of Kahlua mixing and matching nuts, coconut and dried fruits to match the liqueurs. You can use 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract in place of the liqueur.

3/4 cup of butter
3 cups sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 7-ounce jar Kraft marshmallow crème
12 ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bottle (airline size or nip) or 1 shot Irish Crème
2 cups walnuts or pecans - OPTIONAL
2 8-inch square pans sprayed with non-stick spray

In a heavy 3 quart sauce pan - I prefer an enameled cast iron -melt butter, sugar and evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, turn down heat to a low boil and cook for 5 minutes.

Turn off heat and mix in marshmallow crème. Once that is incorporated, mix in the chocolate chips until mixture is an even chocolate color then add the Irish crème and nuts, mixing thoroughly.

Pour mixture into pans and cool thoroughly before cutting into squares and serving.

Rice Krispy treats are always big sellers! Change it up a bit by adding a couple cups of Fruity Pebbles rice cereal to the Rice Krispy mix, to make the treats colorful!

Do yeast rolls in a dispoable aluminum cake pan... about 12 in a 9" pan...bake and slip into a zip bag when fully cooled.

Loaves sell good around here zucchini bread, banana bread, cranberry-orange bread, even yeast bread.

For a bake sale I once made Rice Krispies and formed them into popsicle shapes. I put a popsicle stick in one end after they set up and I dipped them about one third of the way in chocolate and put sprinkles on them. After the chocolate had hardened I wrapped the pop in Saran Wrap and tied a bow where the Rice Krispies and the popsicle stick meet. They were a real hit with the kids.
