I posted that I'm doing the Home and Garden show. I was thinking about having a dessert bite there for ppl to try. What recipe would you use? Something we can put on a napkin, one bite, and something simple and cheap but makes an impression.

Thanks!

NOOOOOOO!!! Do not have food, honey!! Let the products speak for themselves. If I can post a picture of our booth from last night's TOH cooking school I will, but there are other posts of booth pictures. (Because I was supposed to be posting a picture of a watch for sale for about a month now and...)

Anyway...I strongly advise against having food of any type there including the lime/cucumber thing. I know many people disagree, but that is JMHO!! It makes your booth look sloppy and unprofessional.
 
Plus, it would take forever to make enough for everyone to have a sample. 1000s of people come to Home and Garden shows.
 
And there's a liability issue of someone gets sick and thinks it was your food.

If you must have something to attract them, have wrapped candy in a dish - something purchased that is sanitary.
 
I agree--no food. You do not have a food handling license.
