How to Make Halloween Creepy Ice

Halloween is a time to get ghoulish and have some yucky fun, creating revoltingly delicious frozen surprises for your Halloween party. Your guests will love the ice face looking up at them in the punch or a few worms and creepy-crawlies in their cups. For some extra gruesome fun, how about some bloody hands in the punch bowl?

Tips & Warnings

• Surgical gloves can be purchased at your local pharmacy or drug store.
• Be sure the color of your punch contrasts with the red ghoulish hands, so they will show up.
• It's very important to use non-latex gloves for the ghoulish hands. Latex allergies are very common.
