Need suggestions for food sale?

We currently sell hot dogs, corn, chips and drinks. It is an outdoor concert and people bring lawn chairs, so the corn was too messy for people to eat over their laps and is not selling. I am in need of easy to hold, not messy food suggestions.

1. Nuts, fruit cups, bags of candy!
2. Nachos, cookies, corn dogs, hamburgers, pizza, soft pretzels.
3. If you still like the corn idea, here is a tip. At our local farmer's market, they are grilling corn, then they take cobs off to order. They use a knife to cut the corn off of the cob, into a big kettle. Using a styrofaom cup, they scoop out a cup of corn, squeeze some butter spread out of a bottle, and sprinkle with seasoning. Cup, spoon, napkin, the portable corn was selling fast! I have also seen caramel apples - cut them in slices in a bowl and add toppings Also walking tacos - which is taco ingredients added to a single serving bag of fritos. best of luck! :)
4. Mini sandwiches, pita pockets, wraps, big pretzels, corn dogs, skewers with grilled chicken or vegetables
5. Do you have any way to make funnel cakes? They always seem to go over well at an outdoor event. You could sell baked goods like cookies & fudge.
6. My sons were in our towns Pop Warner proram and I use to volunteer in the snack shack. A big hit was keilbasa on a stick. Put keilbasa in a pan and pour bottled barbecue sauce over it. When cooked, push a wooden skewer all the way inside the keilbasa. Another hit was cheese fries and homemade soups and chili.
7. Have you try a bake sale that consist of cookies, bars, cakes and other bake deserts
8. air popped popcorn, pizza by the slice,large cookies
9. Cookies or brownies. Carrot/celery sticks w/individual tubs of dressing/dip. Individual packages of nuts or trail mix. If there will be kids, fruit roll-ups. These items are available on the food cart at my son's baseball games.
