New Year's Eve Murder Mystery


Chris' parents were so kind to watch Ry for us so we could go out with some friends on New Year's Eve. Josh and Melissa had a Murder Mystery dinner and we had such a great time. They last a few hours, but we really had a a blast dressing up, eating yummy food and laughing at our non-Chicago accents. It was a 1928 Chicago theme. My character was a reporter named "Scoop" and Chris was a sly district attorney. We were incharge of brining the Hors D'Oeuvres and these little things were to die for...so MAKE THEM!
Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites
1 pound Bacon
1 can Chunked Pineapple (large Chunks)
½ cups Brown Sugar
Preparation Instructions
Set your oven to 375F.
Cut the pound of bacon in half. Put the brown sugar in a shallow bowl. Take a half a slice of bacon and dredge it through the brown sugar. Put a chunk of pineapple on one end of the bacon slice and roll up. Secure with a toothpick.
I put a cookie cooling rack into a foil-lined jelly roll pan. Lay the bacon pineapple bundles onto the rack.
Bake for at least 25 minutes, or until the bacon looks brown and crispy. Sometimes I pop them under the broiler for the last few minutes just to get them really crisp. But watch out – the sugar will burn!
Try to wait for them to cool slighty – only because the tasty goodness will burn your lips if it’s too hot! Enjoy.
