10 More Ways To Avoid Making Dessert
by Bob Blumer
Magazine Issue: Internet Only

Chances are you will have seen all you want to of your kitchen by the time dessert rolls around. If your guests haven't lavished you with homemade brownies or other delectable treats, whip out one of the following instantaneous crowd pleasers:

1 Frozen Ice Cream Treats

  • Old School: Fudgsicles, Orangsicles, or Popsicles.
  • New School: Haagen Dazs, Ben & Jerry's, or Dove bars.
  • The Adventure Club: Flag down an ice cream truck and buy pop-ups, rockets, chocolate eclairs, etc.

    2 Fortune Cookies

  • The Adventure Club: Pull out the fortunes with tweezers and replace them with your own prophecies.

    3 Chocolate-covered Espresso Beans

  • A low-fuss mocha latte.

    4 Oreos & Milk

  • Bound to trigger fond childhood memories.

    5 Chocolate Truffles

  • Not a calorie in sight!

    6 Frozen Dough Cookies

  • Serve hot out of the oven.
  • The Adventure Club: Pretend they are homemade and see if you can get away with it.

    7 An Assortment of Penny Candy

  • (coming soon)

    8 Pepperidge Farm Pirouettes & Freshly Brewed Coffee

  • The Adventure Club: Serve flavored coffee (i.e., vanilla, hazelnut, almond, etc.)

    9 Chocolate Fondue

  • Melt chocolate bars, whisk in a splash of milk, and dip in fresh fruit. Serve (ideally) in a fondue pot or in a heated bowl.
