Dessert rut

We have a surprise welcome home from the Navy party to go to tomorrow night. I need to bring a dessert. I'm tired of brownies and I really, really hate making cookies. Too much sustained effort to scoop out all the individual cookies. Yes, I am that lazy.
I'm at a loss for what to make. Got any ideas/recipes?

Re: Dessert rut
Trifle.
Here's a link to a whole board of em on pinterest. Can't go wrong with trifle.

why are you trying to kill my diet?
This exactly. {drools} Thanks for all the ideas!
I made these ater seeing the recipe on pinterest but I called them Floosies (a little bit of a nicer term!) I actually wasn't that impressed. I didn't think you could really taste the chocolate chip cookie part and it just tasted like a dark chocolate brownie to me. The idea and telling people what was in it was better than the end result IMO. Still people got a big kick out of it.
I like making the oreo truffles - 1 package of oreos, crushed mixed with 8 oz. of softened cream cheese. Mix them together well and put back in the fridge to firm up. Then scoop and roll into 1 in balls. Then dip into white chocolate and place back into fridge to harden. Yum-O!
Graham cracker pie crust, 1pkg cream cheese, sweeten condensed milk, lemon juice, cherry pie filling
Let cream cheese soften to room temp, mix with milk until smooth. Add lemon juice to taste...you want it to be a little bit tart but not real lemony. Pour mix into pie crust and top with pie filling.
Pretty cheap, and super easy, so it wouldn't be a big deal to make a couple if you needed more than one.
Lemon Bars... I usually buy a box kit (krusteaz) but i have used recipes before form online.
