{ Via: Williams Sonoma }

The fall season is filled with so many reasons to entertain. From Halloween festivities to football Sundays, and Thanksgiving, we have some toasting and hosting to do. This recipe roundup is chock full of  autumnal appetizers and chic cocktails.  Get ready to sip, dip, and enjoy the season.

Halloween Charcuterie Board

I think it is clear by now that everyone loves a charcuterie board. This one stylized for Halloween sure is stylishly spooky. You'll find some very clever inspiration at....

Foxes Love Lemons

Pomegranate Cider Mimosas

These aren't just any mimosas. This recipe adds a salted caramel rim to the glass. Can you imagine? It's the perfect pour for now through Thanksgiving.

How Sweet Eats

Smoky Sweet Potato Hummus

Oh my! I have a sweet potato ready to be cooked, and this recipe will be made yet today. Hummus is such a healthy snack, filled with protein, and in this case, beautiful color. Love this for the coming months.

Heather Christo

Fig Dark & Stormy

Now this is fall in. a glass. Figs, dark rum, ginger beer, lemon, and thyme all add up to a beauty of a beverage.

Half Baked Harvest

Hot Honey Bacon Wrapped Dates
A classic app with a 2022 twist. These dates have been stuffed with goat cheese, then it's all drizzled with hot honey. You could make your own (I use honey and Siracha) or buy everyone's favorite, Mike's Hot Honey.

How Sweat Eats

Smoking Blackberry Sage Margarita 

Just in time for Halloween. I don't know about you, but I love a margarita any day of the year. There is dry ice and smoking sage involved. This cocktail will clear any bad energy around you!

Wicked Spatula

Fig + Prosciutto Salad with Almond Milk Ricotta

What a pretty platter! The sweet and salty combination will pair well with a cocktail.

Design Wine Dine

Maple Pumpkin Martini

The perfect signature cocktail! With all of the fall flavors, it offers a bonus. It's also dairy free.

A Beautiful Mess

Pumpkin Goat Cheese Dip With Caramelized Onions

I just found out that my future son in law does not like caramelized onions. How is this possible? I will just have to hide them going forward. This recipe is tangy, sweet, and savory at the same time. It can be served warm or cold.

Running To The Kitchen

Autumn Apple Bourbon Fizz

This recipe has 7 ingredients that blended together are a fall sensation!

Punch Fork

Sweet Potato "Crostini" with Blue Cheese and Honey

Here's a clever and creative twist on crostini. The sweet potatoes are a healthy stand in for bread. I think this is a must make.

Williams Sonoma

Apple Butter Old Fashioned

Now this is Autumn! Say hello to apple butter, cider, lemon, orange bitters, bourbon, and ginger beer for topping. What a sensational sip!

Half Baked Harvest

Carmelized Onion and Bacon Flatbread

Oh yum! Better make two of these because this looks so good, it will go fast. I always find that flatbread is easier to eat than pizza, too.
