Time for ghosts to gather, goblins to giggle and boys and ghouls to arrive at the door. Make Halloween a scream with frightfully good bites from Strack & Van Til.

Party guests can sink their fangs into ready-made Italian, turkey or ham submarine sandwiches or a custom sandwich stacked with favorite meats, cheeses and Beano’s sauces from the Deli Department. The Grab & Go Trio packs salami, pepperoni and provolone into one easy treat.

“Wings are a wickedly good choice for your celebration,” says Deli Department Director Kristin Snow. “Bone-in breaded, plain, boneless tossed in Buffalo or BBQ or the spicy Wings of Fire are simply spook-tacular.”

For a crowd-pleasing meal, serve Our Famous Grilled or Fried chicken. Orders of 25 pieces or more require 24-hour notice. Chicken tenders pair perfectly with dipping sauces, wraps or salads. Keep hungry little monsters happy with potato wedges and macaroni and cheese.

Build your own gyro sandwich with meat off the cone, tzatziki, pita and feta cheese. Try Our Own Deli ham, turkey, BBQ chicken, beef and cheddar sliders on King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls. Each 12-count heat-and-serve slider pack includes a 2-liter Pepsi free.

Round out the menu with homestyle, mustard or premium potato salad, Caprese pasta salad with fresh mozzarella, creamy macaroni salad, sour cream and cheddar macaroni, creamy coleslaw or bow-tie pasta salad with spinach, pine nuts and Parmesan cheese. New favorites include Loaded Baked Potato salad, Asian Bowtie pasta salad and Citrus Parmesan pasta salad.

Don’t forget the snacks, including tortilla chips with spinach, Buffalo chicken, taco layer or chili con queso dips, plus guacamole, salsas and hummus. Choose Pita Krunch pita chips, pretzeled pita chips, crostini toast and New York bagel chips.

Create a boo-tiful charcuterie board with specialty meats, cheeses, olives, jams and hot honey. And right on target for Halloween: Delicious deviled eggs, available in six or 12 count.

For dessert, enjoy Our Own Taffy apple salad from the deli or visit the bakery for Halloween-themed cupcakes, cakes, trays of brownies and cookies, freshly made doughnuts and Strack & Van Til’s famous butter cookies topped with fall-colored sprinkles.

“Our themed cupcakes, cakes and cookies make it easy to add a little extra sweetness and seasonal fun to any party,” says Bakery Department Director Stephanie Flynn.
