a dessert/goodie tray what would you put on it?

Anything yummy and relatively bite sized.

Brownie bites, choc. chip cookies, snickerdoodles, peanut butter cookies, & maybe one or tow others. Everyone, every year has to have these if it's coming from me.

fruit tarts, cheesecake bites, cake balls, petite fours, mini muffins, chocolate dipped fruit (grapes and strawberries), truffles, anything with chocolate is always good.

I vote for brownies, rice krispy treats, and chocolate chip cookies.

Gingernut Caramel Tarts.

Place Arnotts Gingernuts over the openings in small cupcake trays. Put them in the oven on moderately high until soft. Take out of oven. Push down into shape of tray. Cool. Fill with caramel. Pipe cream swirl on top.

So easy and so delish!

We call them ginger snaps...at least thats what you described.

Jen80, I think I've seen those tarts in the Crabapple Cupcake book! Still yet to try them!!!

Lenette, I guess it depends what event the goodies tray is for to determine the assortment. A fancy affair or a casual do or as a gift? Sounds like fun! Personally, I like to include stuff that I have made myself - ie. petit fours or fondant fancies, little fudge brownies, small caramel choc top squares, jam tartlets, etc. This makes it a one of a kind piece & not something a trip to the confectionary aisle of the supermarket that anybody can do. Also, is it just one tray or multiple trays you need to make? Again, this would also determine what is to go on it. Anyway, my two cents....

Lady fingers(everyone gets a tin for Xmas in my fam), Neiman Marcus bars, pecan pie tarts, dipped strawberries, mini blondies, snickerdoodles, chocolate covered pretzels........yummy!

Among the many delicious treats listed already I always include peanut butter fudge on a dessert tray...mmmmm!
