Well for a pot luck people may want something easy to grab and go, so individual servings will work best. Maybe cookies or cupcakes. I always think that fudge is SO easy to make, and people love it. You can get those little individual papers, and make it plain, or fancy. It's cheap and easy. I use the recipe right on the jar of Fluff!
I have an excellent dessert that is so easy and makes allot and everyone loves it.


1 box white cake mix


2 box's room temp cream cheese


2 cups confecotioners sugar


1 tub cool whip


4 cans of comstock or any brand cheerie pie filling


You need 2 13 x 9 cake pans I usually just but the aluminum one's in the store then make your cake accoring to box and then seperate your cake into the two pans the cake will be thin then bake in the oven till done. It usually only takes about 20 minutes because they are thin but just check them then let them cool.


Mix together the cream cheese, sugar then the coolwhip then split evenlly over the two cakes spread to cover the top then take you cheeries and put two cans on each cake and spread out then put in the frig till cold and serve. It is so good and it is also very light.


Hope this helps

Fruity Cheesecake





Got if from Kraftfoods.com





The only thing that they really do not tell you there is that it is very hard to find a rectangular cheesecake pan..What I did is I baked it in a regular pan and put waxed paper, enough to be able to lift it from the sides when It was ready and cool..





The other thing is that the recepie says 25 nillas cookies for the bottom.. I had to use double the amount, 25 were not enough





You wll shine with this dessert..
