Superbowl for the Sophisticate…

Whether or not you care to root for the Colts or the Saints – you certainly must root for a gorgeous array of amped-up snacks…Superbowl Sunday does not mean you have to resort to wings and potato chips…gather your girls and enjoy a made-over Superbowl spread…

 
I love the rustic table, lined with a raw, gauzy cheesecloth as a linen.  Display gorgeous cuts of cheese accompanied by fresh fruits, breads and spreads.
You can find charming fresh honeycomb at Whole Foods for an incredibly beautiful and unexpected addition.
 Pop freshly popped popcorn over the stove with a bit of truffle oil and pinch of fresh parmesan for a gourmet, savory twist to the mundane snack.  Simple parchment cones set in a basket makes for an easy, disposable way to share.
 Don’t forget the sweets!  {Could you imagine your guests’ surprise when greeted by a towering croquembouche!}
 Or perhaps something a bit more modest, but still quite thoughtful…waffle bowls of varied ice creams or gelato.
Enjoy!
