Bring Holiday Cheer at Our Shopping Day!

[TJMagoo]

My office is putting together a Holiday Shopping day and we other vendors coming in and setting up booths (tastefully simple, a jewlry lady etc) I'm going to be setting up a booth to sell PC but am debating on if I should cook anything to have in my booth for people to sample.

Anyone have any ideas for things I can do? I have a classic batter bowl to giveaway so I was going to do a drawing.

Do you have the capability to cook it at the office? (Is there a microwave big enough for the DCB?) If not, maybe something like mango confetti salsa and chips, so you don't have to worry about refrigeration and could make more if you need to

You could have a "decorate and take" cookie station. Bake some sugar cookies, use cookie press for various shapes, then fill the decorator bottles with icings, the flour/sugar shaker with sugar, have prep bowls with sprinkles, etc. and let people decorate a cookie to take.

I'll be making microwave chips and bringing them to several booths I'm doing this weekend. People say the chips will stay crisp if I make them the night before. When I've done the chips at shows, I've sold the MCM and Simple Slicer.
Do whatever is going to be EASY for you to make, display and serve.

I did a booth tonight at a real estate agency and served cream cheese with the spicy pineapple rum sauce and crackers on the bamboo tray...big hit and super simple!

I do have a microwave here so I could use the DCB. What did you have in mind?

What is the recipe for the mango confetti salsa? I could put that in the small bowl caddy.

I also have the snowman plate I could put the chips on there and leave the dip in the caddy.

The other ideas are great but the show is tomorrow (I know I should've posted this a long time ago) I don't have the cookie press or the rum sauce or the chip maker. Looks like I better buy some products too LOL

I just found this recipe too - anyone made this before? The Pampered Chef, Ltd.

You can do dip like that with any of our rubs or seasonings. I have tried it with chipotle, and it's yummy! I actually omit mayo, though, and just mix it with sour cream. I hate mayo.

The carmel applie dip and the chipotle dip is what I went with and they are getting rave reviews! Thanks everyone for your help!
