One of my all time favorites is triffle. Takes no time to assemble and looks and tastes wonderful. Just go to allrecipes.com and see the berry trifle or the English trifle ... Yum!

If the open house I went to served these, I might be tempted to buy! They are so simple to make, but they are impressive and exploding with flavors:

2: Choc dipped butter cookies, 2 ingredients:

Dip 1/2 of the butter cookie in melted choc chips and place on wax paper on a plate and in the fridge til choc hardens, also you could sprinke them with confectionary sugar or x-mas sprinkles.

3: Cool whip dip, 2 ingredients:

Big tub of cool whip and add a nip of choc mint liquer( it comes in green color), mix gently, put in fancy bowl and stick those long skinny cookies into the cool whip dip, they look like the slender cigars, I forget the name of them, but they are in the cookie aisle. Everyone also likes these. Simple and easy. The cookes are tubular, some have choc filling, they are about 3 inches long. They are the shape of a large straw.

Good luck!
WOW!! More crowd pleasers. I am seriously going to use each and every one of your suggestions and the other posters' suggestions for my Open Houses and get their comments. I knew there were heaps of ideas out there that I could use and that would give me even greater cudos in the eyes of prospective Buyers. And I'll let you know which recipe from this forum sells the house.

I love those ideas. I think that I'm a pretty creative person in general but it seems that the simplest things are the fanciest! It's amazing. By the way, are you in WI? We used to shop in Marshfield because our town had no stores.

Make Rachel Ray's 5 minute fudge recipe. I'm sure you can find it on her website.

When you make the pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate, dip them in caramel first. My neighbor made some like this and they were awesome.

Thanks for the last 2 posts. Great ideas. I didn't know there were so many out there. I admit I'm not much of a cook/baker. But I know I can handle these.

I do ice cream pie.

Get a graham cracker pie crust, ice cream (any kind) and fudge or caramel sauce


Soften the ice cream just a bit so it is easy to spoon out.

Spoon some into pie crust, then ad some sauce, more ice cream then sauce.

Cover it..
Put back in freezer until ready to serve.

These are always a huge hit.
