Chili Toppings Board

This post contains collections of products that I personally recommend (it may contain affiliate links).

Chili is one of my favorite meals–who doesn’t love all of those chili toppings! Plus, there are so many different varieties of chili, there’s practically one for every season! You can throw together all your favorite seasonal veggies (or stick to the canned stuff), tailor the meat to your preference (or cut it out all together), and serve it over just about anything (ever tried it Cincinnati style over spaghetti?) and it’s practically guaranteed to be delicious.

But you know I love sides and toppings, so this board is all about those perfect chili toppings that add the hits of freshness, zestiness, and/or spice. Serve this bar for your next party–it’s perfect for cold weather gatherings! Especially ones that involve a football game.
