How about 2 dozen muffins, two cheesecakes and two gateaux, most people at bbqs go for savoury things rather than sweet, so I think what I have listed would be ample!. Hope this helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
This pie is great, because you can make it ahead, and do a couple of flavors!. The storebought graham cracker crusts have a plastic insert that flips over the filled pie, so you can stack them in the refrigerator (and they're easier to take somewhere):
LEMONADE PIE
1 large container Cool Whip, thawed
1 6 ox!. can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed ** (You can also use pink lemonade or limeade)
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened, condensed milk
1 9" graham cracker crust
Mix first 3 ingredients well and fill crust!. You can dollop extra Cool Whip on top, if you want !.!.!.!. Chill at least 4 hours
This is a super easy cookie bar, that's absolutely DECADENT!
HELLO DOLLY
1/2 c!. butter
1-1/2 c!. graham cracker crumbs
1 can sweetened, condensed milk
1 6-oz!. pkg!. chocolate chips
1/2 c!. flaked coconut
1 c!. chopped nuts
Melt butter in bottom of 9x13" pan; remove from heat!. Sprinkle crumbs over butter; spread milk evenly over crumbs!. Sprinkle chips, coconut & nuts on milk and press down gently!. Bake at 350 for 25 min, or until golden brown!. Cool and cut into bars!.!.!.!.!.
And, bring a fruit platter!.!.!.!.!. 2 pies, a pan of Hello Dolly, and a fruit platter should cover it (and be really easy to do)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would bring 3 desserts!. Maybe brownies or some sort of cake, a couple dozen cookies and maybe some healthier dessert with fruit!. You could make one of those baskets out of a watermelon and fill it up with watermelon and other fruit balls!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Bring a couple finger food desserts - mini cheesecakes and mini peanut butter brownie cups!.
Maybe pick up a dozen or so of those cookies the grocery store has!.
