Desserts for 16 yr old boys

I have been asked to do a dessert of some sort for a 16 yr old boy's birthday party. It probably needs to be a finger food type of dessert since they are boys. I am thinking it probably just needs to be cookies or brownies but not sure.

Do any of you mom's have any ideas what 16 yr old boys like?

16 year old boys don't know how to use forks? Make them jello and let them suck it through a straw...
 
My son isn't 16 yet, but I've learned in entertaining him and his friends that they will eat ANYTHING (well, except vegetables :)) ).

Brownies or cookies are a great idea. But make A LOT. They will walk around just eating them.

It's all I've got - pink cupcakes came to mind when I thought of a birthday party. The princess has me well-programmed.

Yeah, that's what I thought. A girl's b/d is a no brainer but I just don't know about boys.
 
peanut butter cookies with reese's mini cups on top...not sure why those are popular but made some of those for my son's bday party (he isn't 16) but all the boys ate every single cookie. I also had sugar cookies with M&M's on top and sugar cookies with hershey kisses on them. Not one cookie was left.

Can never go wrong with Brownies either or Dirt cake. When I make dirt cake at family functions my nephews will fight each other to get to it.

I have just seen a recipe for a choc cookie w/ the min reese cups. Must be the current thing! Thanks for the suggestions! :thumbsup
 
Anything edible.

But I would have something chocolate, something peanut butter, some cereal cookies - like Rice Krispies Cookies, as well as some chocolate chip cookies.
