Pampered Chef Basket: Chocolate & Free Cooking Show!

[JDooley]

I am doing a small Pampered chef basket for a fundraiser. Anyone have any ideas on what to include. the whole place will be filled with chocolate. I also am going to include a "free cooking show" to the winner of the silent auction of my basket

How about a GC and the ingredients to make a chocolate dessert at the show??

I did a basket at a Women's luncheon and I had the woven rectangle basket with the rectangle SA, microfiber towel, AP spreader, Twixit clips, bamboo spoons.

It just depends how much you want to spend

I adjust this basket to the group I give it to.

Batter Bowl (most of the time small)
Small scoop
Classic Scraper
Mini Whisk
Mini Serving Spatula

Add ons

Medium Baking Sheet
or
Rectangular Stone
Stackable Cooling Rack

Extra Add ons

2 small packages of cookie mixes - favorites peanut butter and chocolate chip (not sugar)
$5.00 gift card from a grocery store (for them to buy eggs, oil, etc)

You can have help donating these products or you can slowly buy items as you go.

This has always been a big hit for every 'donation' I have done. This was very successful in November when I donated this for a silent auction I did for a nursing home. This package alone raised the nursing home $205 dollars. WOW I did donated all above (metal sheet pan was given)

I wrap it in a cellophane bag and used curly ribbon

I added a catalog, coupon for 10% off, free cooking show. I also included several recipes.

Just wanted to share.

I did a fundraising basket one time with a basket that looked like a tiny wishing well. I filled it with green filler paper and had 5 dollars of the Sacajawea (sorry for the tragic misspell!) golden dollar coins. And a catalog and a free cooking show.

I have done others with product too. Usually discontinued products I am not going to use. As others have said, spend what you want. To cut costs I try to use items off our paper supply like spices, SBRC,etc.

A chocolate basket could include a Micro Cooker or the Dipping Trays, V Shaped Cutter to drizzle with and some chocolate melts or bark along with your Free Chocolate Show.

I donated a free chocolate show to an auction and the coach of the "then" Seattle Sonics (pro basketball team) bought it for his wife. It was over $800 and she had NEVER heard of PC before.

I did the red,white, & blue theme for a nra banquet and i put it all in the Woven Basket and gave a catalog and the winner loved it and has become one of my best customers and the nra got a good penny off of it. I did that for a benefit auction people seem to really like the theme cause I used the patrotic theme linens we have to top it off.
