Perfect Presentation Platters

I’d definitely recommend these products, which made my Walking Taco Bar so much fun! I’ve gotten so much use out of them this season:

Cauldrons: I used this set of 12 mini cauldrons. This Hanging Cauldron set is also adorable!

Wooden Serving Trays: It is so convenient to use a wooden serving board for prep and to complete the look. For a larger choice, I love the double-handle on this option, or this rectangular tray. (Both at a great price!) Antique Farmhouse also has this beautiful set of three!

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

For the Halloween decor items, the cute Jack-O’-Lantern platter is from Pottery Barn and the Haunted House Candy Jar is from Pottery Barn.

Can I Prep This Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can brown the meat ahead of time and store in the refrigerator, then reheat in the microwave. You can also put the cauldron fixings in their place and refrigerate, but I’d recommend waiting until close to serving time before adding in the guacamole, so it doesn’t turn brown.

Storing Leftover Walking Taco Bar Goodies

If you have any leftovers, place in Tupperware containers and refrigerate, where it should stay fresh for 203 days.
