I am doing a holiday open house show on Saturday in a Hair Salon. Does anyone have any good ideas for recipes or anything else. I am planning on setting up a lot of gift ideas and stocking stuffer ideas. Any other ideas are more than welcome! Thanks a bunch!

THANKS
Anyone else?
 
have you tried doing the truffle cups on the last page of the SB? They're super easy and cost-efficient for samples for your guests. (as long as you're not having 50+ people coming to sample)
Plus the guests can top them how they like....

Let us know how it turns out.
 
Fruit Pizza

1 package (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese softened

1/3 cup sugar

4 cups assorted fresh fruit such as strawberries, bananas, kiwi, blueberries, etc (any fruit really)

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Place dough on round baking stone and cook 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool.

For topping, combine cream cheese and sugar and spread over cookie dough, then start placing on the fruit.
