Love the nacho idea....they could also do the salsa with the salad choppers.

thanks for the ideas...is there anymore!
 
You could do a trifle. The Strawberry Cream and the Red, White & Blueberry were huge hits at my shows this weekend. They are no bake so its perfect if you don't know how much space you'll get (microwave or stove) plus its good for places where its hot. :-)
 
I did a Smores Trifle with the Girl Scouts, ages 10-12. Everyone LOVED IT
