This year our Murder Mystery Dinner was Western Themed. The title was "The Good, The Bad, and The Guilty". I didn't want the fact that this was a Halloween party to be lost on the "western-ness," so I tried to incorporate the colors, pumpkins, candy and the like to mix them together. We had such a good time! I love this Halloween tradition more every year!
This is my proudest achievement- I used the "Hello, Cupcake" book for inspiration for the "coal" cupcakes, and kind- of the "hamburgers" (the book has the hamburgers as rice cakes colored with food coloring- I thought coco rice krispie treats would be yummier). The "ribs" are all mine though- they are twinkies covered in candy coating (like cake pops) and then a layer of strawberry jelly mixed with chocolate syrup. They were a little over the top as far as sweet, but I think they look pretty real! I was excited to think of something I haven't seen before.
This is my "Halloween" dinner- Chili in a pumpkin and "Candycorn" Cornbread (the top of the triangle is is white butter and then the cornbread is orange and yellow layers).
Here's everyone in their costumes- all guests were good sports and really dressed up- I think that makes it so much more fun!
