I've been asked to bring a dish to share at a weekend reunion.  We will travel a minimum of 6 hours in the heat to a bit of a remote location (no large grocery stores in the area).  All that I can think of is cookies or dinner rolls/croissants.  Any ideas would really be appreciated.

You can take anything you want in a cooler.  Potato salad, pasta salad, fried chicken, etc.

How about a dessert like a cake or something non-perishable?  A salad or cold dish could be taken in an ice chest.  A crock pot full of food could be chilled in the fridge, put in an ice chest for the trip then heated before dinner (be sure to take the cord).

To expand on @spumoni99's post a "cooler" also retains heat so something like baked beans should travel well if kept in the cooking vessel and wrapped in foil.

This is tricky .........   I like the idea of cookies, rolls, and any packaged items that won't spoil, spill or leak.  And avoid containers that need to be washed and taken home.  

Personally, I would buy, rather than make something.  Depending on the time of day, you could always get a bottle of red wine, too, I suppose.

A massive amount of rice krispie treats and a case of individual waters.

@mac116 I would not stress about taking anything that requires special care.

I would take two kinds of cookies. Plain sugar cookies, or chocolate chip, or both. For a salad, I would take two or three watermelons and a knife. That way you can enjoy the day and know no one got sick from your offerings.

I had to bring something to a backyard wedding once believe it or not.   What I did was visit a local bakery and bought a few dozen pretty cupcakes.  I just kept them in the boxes as I picked them up that morning laying them all side by side in the trunk.  All was well with that.  My drive was 3 hours.

Thanks.  I really didn't want to bring a cooler, or containers that I would need to keep track of during the clean up.

I also like the idea of a few bottles of wine.

I welcome all ideas, since I don't usually have such a unique set of circumstances.

You can transport cooked food in a crock pot or pressure cooker.
