Taryn’s Halloween Mad Libs | Cozy Mystery Mad Libs

No Halloween party is complete without a caramel apple bar. This year I wanted to try my hand at homemade marshmallows. Kandice had come over to help, although her help is usually drinking my wine and making me laugh. As I cut the marshmallows into tiny cubes and dusted them in powdered sugar, Kandice sliced the apples and arranged the bar, setting out the various snacks. We had pumpkin truffles, pull-apart pizza eyes, (I used olive slices and mozzarella to make each roll look like an eyeball), zombie pasta salad and Dracula’s Halloween punch. I quickly rolled the marshmallows, placing them in a cute ghost dish. The boys were due any minute and I still needed to get into my costume. Kandice was dressed as Cat Woman and Trey was coming as the Black Panther. Robert had decided on Zorro. As for Alex and me, we were Princess Ariel and Prince Eric. I put my fluffy orange cat Giselle into a flounder costume. She looked thrilled, I could tell by the grumpy cat face she was making. When she waddled away, her fins flowed. The game for the night was a reenactment of Clue; we each had to collect clues for the evening to see who the killer was. The weapons: a fork, a fish hook, a cat’s claw, a sword, and leather pants. We’ll finish with a group photo, including Giselle, with the Silver Springs colorful mountainside as the backdrop.
