Realistic Looking Fake Blood Recipe for Halloween

Note from Cheri: This easy recipe will make surprisingly realistic looking fake blood for Halloween fun. Keep in mind, this "blood" may temporarily stain skin and it will permanently stain clothing.

You will need: 1 3/4 C corn syrup 1/4 C water 2 tsp. liquid red food coloring 8-10 drops liquid blue food coloring 1/4 C sifted corn starch

I like to use a salad dressing bottle to mix this formula. In any event, you will need a container that closes tightly and won't leak if you shake it. Mix corn syrup and water, add food colorings, cover and shake to mix. Add the sifted cornstrach and shake well again. If any lumps remain, let the bottle site for a few seconds, they will rise to the top and you can skim them off. Store in the refrigerator, don't make too far in advance as this only keeps for a couple of days.
