This is such a fun board. It has traditional elements like the meats, cheeses, crackers…but it also has some super fun surprises like the cider donuts and berries. I love the halloween touches like the bones and eyeballs. And the fun blending in of orange items like the peppers, carrots and little pumpkins is so whimsical.

Now some of you may not be familiar with this, but here in the Philadelphia area we have Tastycake. A clear winner above any Little Debbie or Hostess product, this was pure genius to me as my sweet tooth is of saber tooth tiger proportions.  Here we run the gamut of all things tastycake: chocolate covered donuts, Kandy Kakes (a wonderful delight of peanut butter topped cake, coated in chocolate) Chocolate Cupcakes, Buttercream Filled Chocolate Cupcakes, Pecan Swirls, Oatmeal Cookies and Jelly Filled Krimpets. A Krimpet is a cake with funny dents or “krimps” in it. The only thing missing is the Butterscotch Krimpet, arguably the most popular tastycake. (I’ll forgive my aunt for the omission. )

I am definitely a fan of KFC- Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yum! Here’s we have the essential KFC Board, complete with original chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, mac n cheese and, of course, biscuits. Gotta have the biscuits. 

How clever is this.  What a beautiful rosette nestled amoungst the other meats, cheeses and grapes. This one also has the Honeycomb Orange Tomatoes, which if you haven’t had one, is the best darn grape tomato in existance. And finally a little samlping of some stuffed cherry peppers. Sweet. Savory. Simple.

Now this is a tray I can get behind. A Tray O’ Fries! I really just wanted to take this whole tray and hide in a closet until everyone left. Here we have regular, curly and Old Bay. The essential cheese is there and the ketchup was somewhere in the vicinity

This was so clever – one of my favorites of the night!  Movie Theater goodies!!  There we have buttered popcorn, caramel popcorn, kit kats, m & ms, raisinets, milk duds, reese’s pieces, gummy bears, sour gummy worms, starburst and nachos. Perfect. 

This is THE board in my opinion. Pizza is my JAM. It’s just perfection. Everything I truly enjoy all on one plate. (Chef’s Kiss) We have White Broccoli, Pepperoni, Plain, and Plain Sicilian. Nestled in between all that we have those scrumptious pillows of delight – pizza rolls.  And, of course, extra sauce in which to dip that crust. I shoulda just taken that plate into the closet with my fries.

This was one of the best parties I’ve ever hosted. It was a great time to just relax, chat and enjoy each other’s company while grazing on a truly great variety of food. And let’s not forget the drinks.  Always the drinks. Many thanks to my gals for being the bestest friends and indulging me in my activities.
