Brandywine Ballet’s 2012/2013 Season will debut this year with the ever appropriate Dracula performance. Set to open for the very first time on October 26th, just in time for Halloween, you can only expect amazing things based off their past productions. The talented theatrical crew is especially excited for the October 27th showing, which will be followed by “a Bite after the Bite” party at Philips Autograph Library (adjacent to Emilie K. Asplundh Concert Hall). The event is $15 per person and just $25 for a couple. Cheese, cookies and seasonal sips will set the mood for the evening, making the performance and party a perfect date package. Purchase your tickets HERE.
Chances are, Brandywine Ballet’s October 27th occasion will be such a hit that you’ll want to recreate the moment for guests of your own. The performance may be difficult unless you have a few spare leotards at home, but there are definitely some delicious, simple, and even local Halloween treats that lend themselves to sweetening up your personal Dracula bash.
Dracula’s Dentures (Nestle)
The best Halloween treats aren’t always frightening but actually quite cute. The Dracula Dentures from Nestle will definitely have your ballet guests saying “awwwww” before they eat up and say “yummmm.” The recipe is especially simple, involving only 4 ingredients that are easy to find. Use the basic instructions or add a personal twist of your own but whatever you do, be sure to enjoy!
Vampire Cupcakes (Baking Bites)
Simple is key when it comes to party planning and it doesn’t get more basic than a classic cupcake. The Dracula-themed treats from Baking Bites make it easier than ever to show your Brandywine Ballet spirit. The white marshmallow frosting resembles a vampire’s pale skin and cherry pie filling never seemed so terrifying when used to imply a deep, treacherous bite.
Cakes & Candies by Maryellen

Cakes and Candies by Maryellen has a variety of festive options when it comes to throwing your Dracula-themed parties.
