Despite the fact that I still have about 10 pounds of apples in the fridge waiting for a purpose in life, I decided to take a break from them and mix it up. We did not have our celiac or peanut allergy people coming to this game night, so I went with a dessert I’d been eyeing for a while that was perfect for such an occasion.

Pretzel PB Chocolate Pie
I’m sure gluten free pretzels exist, but as I haven’t found them yet, I decided to go with this Minimalist Baker Pretzel PB Chocolate Pie. I was a little worried how I would like this because 1) I don’t love pretzels and 2) I was worried the pie filling would be a little too mousse-like for my taste. BUT it was lovely! While I’m not a fan of pretzels on their own, I do love pretzel flavored things, and the crust made out of pretzels and then a few on top was a delightfully salty contrast to the rest of the pie. The filling was actually not too pudding-y, and I may have added an extra spoonful or two of peanut butter which I do recommend. It looks delightful in the pain, and though it got less photogenic as the ‘cool whip’ melted, it tasted amazing and everyone loved it.
Link City
Link City is a new party game that was gifted to us by Blue Orange Games for the cafe, and we really enjoyed its unique theme and gameplay! In it, you take turns being the mayor of a town. The deputy mayor puts out three construction cones to decide where new buildings will go, and then the mayor draws three random things and secretly decides where they will go. The group then discusses where they think the mayor placed them and why, you reveal, and you get more points for more agreed upon answers. It’s super simple, and a bit random with the tiles you happen to draw and where your deputy placed the cones, but overall it’s a fresh take on party games and we loved creating our little town! Definitely want to play this again ourselves, and introduce it to people at the next cafe!
