dessert that travels well?

I am going to my sister's in CT for the weekend. Whatever I make will be prepared Thursday night and need to be served on Saturday. We are getting together to celebrate the holidays. I wanted to bring a dessert (not cookies or cupcakes). Any suggestions?? Thanks!

I made a delicious chocolate cream pie for both Thanksgiving and Christmas (since everyone loved it). Pretty easy, especially because I used a pre-made graham cracker crust. It was actually better the day after I made it and held up for a few days. You could make the chocolate cream (it's like a rich pudding) and just bring that in a bowl kept in a cooler and bring the crust. You can assemble it the morning you will serve it. Top with whipped cream. Mmmmm!

Also, rhis is a version of my "go-to dessert. They call it eclaire cake. It is always a hit and couldn't be easier. I don't do the topping in the link. Instead I call it napoleon cake and simply microwave some vanilla frosting and chocolate frosting in separate bowls and swirl together on top. Looks like the top of a napoleon and dries hard like that. It's awesome! It's also better a day or 2 after it's made. Just bring it over in a cooler & you are set!

I really like the following recipe. It's Cookies & Cream Magic Cookie bars. You can make it exactly like the recipe says, or you can adjust it for whatever candies you would like on top.

I've done it as is, then also added Hershey's cookies and cream candy to the top along with the chocolate chips and cookies.

I'm going to make a "blonde" version of it this week with the Golden Oreos.

Maybe a brownie trifle? We made mini ones in plastic cups from Party City. They were cute! Layers of white, milk, and dark chocolate mousse separated by brownie chunks.

Thank you so much for all of the suggestions! They all look so great, I might have to make more than one! I will let you know how they turn out!
