Baking Treats Can be self Sabbotage...some tricks I have learned

So your girlfriend calls you to come to her BBQ tonight, and asks you to bring dessert. You being Miss creative, and also a perfectionist..you decide to bake your own goodies, store bought is for lazy people.
So you brainstorm as to what you should make. Now as you do this do you ever notice that all of the desserts you like come to your mind, for example, when i think about making a dessert I think..
Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, macadamia nut blondies, caramel pecan squares, apple cream cheese bars, cheesecake, and maybe a chocolate cake with every topping out there...
The problem is there is a good chance, no matter how much gum you shove into your mouth, and mash on vigorously, that you are going to pick at the dough.
So I came up with a good idea. Either make something you don't like, and therefore won't be tempted to pick at or eat later at the party) or make something that tastes pretty bad unbaked.
For me this means mint chocolate brownies, nanaimo bars, lemon or lime ANYTHING, and pies (have you ever tried the crust dough? it tastes like when i tried to eat "play dough" in preschool)
So far this has worked for me.
O and no matter how hard your friends try, don't bring home the leftovers...
