What usually goes well are brownies, cookies with m&ms in them or anything with frosting.. I found these to be the best sellers.. I hope it goes well

Answer 7

Popcorn balls - you can add nuts or M&Ms to them and wrap them individually ........Sandwich cookies.  Either make your own (chocolate chip or oatmeal) or buy some, and sandwich them together with storebought icing

Answer 8

Homeade oatmeal cream pies!

Sandwhich two oatmeal cookies.  The filling is just butter, powdered sugar and a dash of cream.  I have a great recipe I tore out of a magazine or I'd give you the link.  You should be able to find one on the web.

Another great fundraiser is to make mini-parfaits.  You can get clear plastic tubs for them in the deli at your grocery-they will donate them or sell them to you cheap.  Layer the parfaits in 8 layers, two layers each of:  instant chocolate pudding (prepared), brownie crumbles, broken Skor bar pieces and Cool Whip.  It is DIVINE!  I charged $4 apiece for these at a benefit fundraiser and raised $120 before I ran out!

Answer 9

You can make cupcakes, but bake them in ice cream cones (the cake ones with the flat bottom).  Fill them about about 1/2 - 2/3 of the way with batter and bake.  Then you put a big mound of frosting on them so they look like ice cream cones.  Decorate with sprinkles, colored sugar, etc.

Answer 10

Rice krispy treats are a big seller.. homemade is so much better than the stuff in the box!

A better fundraiser is a rummage sale, all you need is space to store the stuff (start a month in advance)and sell out of one of the scouts homes.. for 2 days.

It's pure profit.. its all given to you free and you could combine the bake sale if you wanted at the same time.  We can make $1000 on a weekend in our town.
