I think the warm nutty caramel brownies can be pretty quick to demo. Just put them in the oven as soon as you get there (you could probably even combine everything at home and bring in the batter bowl) then it's so quick to demo the food chopper and utility knife on the nuts and rolos.

I love this recipe! Serve on the appetizer plates and you'll be showing off about $250 in products and a little from 3 of the 4 expensive collections. You could then talk about the cookware or if time allowed do the caramel bites in the cookware-- those sound so yummy!!

Chocolate and candles does sound like a great combo.

The lava cake could definitely work too..

Just try to make the best of it.

After reading thru these posts, I was just wondering, what recipe(s) did you end up making? You never did say, unless I missed it somewhere??

The first show that I did, I made Mississippi Mud Trifle. I also pre-made the caramel sprinkle bites. On the trifle, I basically had everything prepped and just layered it.

The one I did last time was the Turkey & Cranberry Ring which worked out MUCH BETTER! I pre-made the Mini Ham Puffs (using turkey instead) and then demoed the Ring. While it was cooking the PL lady did her thing. Since it takes 30 minutes to bake, the timing worked out well b/c it had just enough time to cool.

I will do another two in December with the same lady. On these ones, I think I will pre-make the cookies or brownies from the homemade for the holidays show and then demo the layering and really focus on the gift giving ideas. One of the shows I already spoke with the host and will be setting up "stations" where they can practice the Mandoline, food Chopper, Citrus Press, Garlic Press etc.

I am doing a combo show soon with the purse lady. She doesn't have a demo and I am making all food in advance just little tastes. I am setting up a table for holiday ideas and gifts. I intend to do a short presentation on how to survive the holidays, make gifts, shorten cooking time and give gift ideas. I am going to push different items as "must haves" for the holidays. Hope it works

Definately Do itI have participated in two shows like this recently and am doing my own in a couple of weeks. Sales were 400 and 650 at the shows I already did. I think that is pretty good considering that there were numerous products to chose from. I think our product sells itself, even when up against others. Everyone has to eat, therefore cook (somewhat). Not everyone needs jewlry, baskets, purses etc....

You could also make the Banana Cream Brownies sq. It is an old PC recipe, but easy to do and very pretty.
