Best Potluck Desserts

Bar Desserts

Bake up something in a pan and then cut it into pieces for people to enjoy! That's one of my favorite ways to create treats for a crowd. There are so many amazing options that you're sure to find a new favorite.

No Bake Desserts

Often, I'm rushing for something to whip up at the last minute, which is where no bake desserts save me. Alternatively, it's hot outside and I don't want to turn on my oven, but I need something tasty. No bake desserts are my favorite in these situations!

Cereal Bars

Forget just the traditional crispy rice cereal and marshmallow treats, there are SO many ways to dress up this classic to take it to a potluck dinner. Whatever you do, just make sure you save some for yourself before they disappear.

Chocolate Desserts

Find me a gathering without a chocoholic, and I'll decline the invitation. (Just kidding. I'll still go!) Chocolate is always a fan favorite at any gathering I attend, so bringing something chocolate for your potluck desserts is never a bad idea!

Cookies

Cookie are a perfect potluck dessert. They're portable and delicious, and recipes tend to make enough to feed a group. And once again, you have so many varieties to choose from.

Gluten Free Desserts

Bringing a gluten free dessert to a potluck is always a thoughtful idea. There are so many who are unable to enjoy all those desserts made with gluten. Many are naturally gluten free and require no substitutions, while others are perfect translations of classic favorites made for your gluten free friends and family.

Which delicious dessert will you try first?
