Easy Bake Sale Ideas
From edible gemstones to next-level Stroopwafels, your booth at the next bake sale is about to get a lot of attention.
1. Edible Gemstones (Almond Candy Clusters)
It’s kind of hard to coat almonds in a candy melt/coconut oil mixture and get them to look smooth. At least for an amateur baker, like myself.
But I figured out that when you coat those “unsmooth” almonds in edible glitter?
Well, they look like gem rocks!
Which makes them an easy sell at a bake sale.

2. Snow-Dipped Stroopwafels
Stroopwafels are these wonderful Dutch treats you place over a hot mug of coffee or hot cocoa until the inside caramel part gets ooey and gooey and wonderful.
I had them for the first time when my husband, son, and I visited my family in Lancaster, PA. We went to a farmer’s market downtown, and this amazing smell wafted through the air from a tent.
It was an Amish person making homemade Stroopwafels!
While I don’t make my own homemade ones, I DO dress up the store-bought kind to make yummy bake sale treats.
Here’s how to make these Snow-dipped Stroopwafels.
3. Trail Mix Rice Krispies Treats
I started making Trail Mix Rice Krispie Blocks about two years ago, and I’m pretty obsessed.
My husband is, too!
I packaged these up with reusable, beeswax food wraps, that the gift recipient can reuse again and again.

Hint: my two favorite nut butters to use with these are Pecan Praline, and Walnut. You can pair them with any nuts that you want – I’ve tried them all!
4. Edible Cookie Dough Cutters
What makes these cute cookie cutters ones that people will want to buy?
Well, they contain edible cookie dough in them (the kind that is safe to eat)!
You can bet I would LOVE to be the recipient of a cookie cutter I can use over and over again, as well as yummy cookie dough I can eat right away.
Here's how to make these edible cookie dough cutters.
5. Hot Cocoa Ornaments
Hot Cocoa ornaments are so fun – you put them in a hot mug of milk or water, and they dissolve into a wonderful hot cocoa drink.
The edible glitter creates a really cool effect in the mug, plus the hot cocoa tastes yummy.
Here's how to make these Hot Cocoa Ornaments.
Hint: Did I mention that since we’re rolling these into the edible glitter, you can hide a lot of imperfections (thank the Lord – mine certainly had enough!).
There you go – easy bake sale ideas with fun packaging that will sell out at your next fundraiser (or just to earn you extra cash at a market).
