Whether you are hosting a gathering at home or heading out to a potluck with friends, you’re sure to find some inspiration in this collection of 20 delicious 13 x 9 Dessert Recipes for a Crowd.

If your kitchen is anything like mine, your 13 x 9 pan may be the most used pan in your collection. One of my favorite ways to use mine is for a variety of sweets from cakes, to brownies and bars, and those lovely, creamy layered desserts that are so perfect for parties any time of year.
I almost always include a 13 x 9 dessert on all of my holiday menus. They are also an awesome option to make and take to gatherings since they are so easy to transport, make enough to feed a group, and there are just so many crowd-pleasing options.
Kitchen Tip
Double any recipe that calls for a 8 inch square baking dish and bake it in a 13 x 9 pan at the same temperature for longer.

Love this collection! Thank you for sharing! I guess I have to buy a new pan, I only have round pan.
Great collection! My 9 x 13 pan is well used, too. Thanks for including my Chocolate Lush 🙂
Thanks so much, Melissa. The Chocolate Lush looks amazing!
