FAQs: BBQ & Potluck Desserts
What's the best dessert to bring to a BBQ?
When I'm heading to a BBQ or any type of potluck, Rice Krispie Treats are almost always my go-to recipe. They're quick and easy to whip up, the ingredients aren't expensive, and you can easily make a really big batch to feed a lot of people– and everyone likes them!
Plus, if you stick to my Perfect Rice Krispie Treats recipe, they are generally safe to to eat for a wide range of food sensitivities and allergies (replace the butter with coconut oil or any kind of nut butter to make them dairy free).
Here are some fun RKT recipes:
- Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
- Toffee Snickerdoodle Rice Krispie Treats
- Reese's Pieces Rice Krispie Treats
- Toasted Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treats
- Butterscotch Butterfinger Rice Krispie Treats
What's a great last minute dessert for a BBQ or potluck?
Lucky for you, last minute is my specialty! I've already covered rice krispie treats, so here are a few more dessert recipes that are fabulous if you are in a pinch for time:
- Snickers Caramel Apple Salad – quick, easy, and also doubles as a side dish!
- Golden Grahams S'mores Bars
- Gourmet S'mores – if a fire will be available at the BBQ, just pick up ingredients for s'mores on the way!
- Grab a gallon of vanilla ice cream and whip up a quick batch of this Homemade Chocolate Syrup to go on top.
- Strawberry Jell-O Salad
- Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip – slice up some apples and strawberries, and grab a pack of graham crackers for dipping!
What should a guest bring to a BBQ?
If the host hasn't asked you to bring something specific, but you feel uncomfortable arriving empty-handed, try one of these Desserts & Sides ideas:
- Butter Dip Biscuits
- Grilled Pineapple
- Cream Soda Ingredients
- Lemon Jell-O Cake
- Caramel Apple Pie Bars
- Fruit Pizza
- Frog Eye Salad
