Instructions

Things You'll Need

• 2 cups gummy worms
• 5 cup ring mold
• 1 liter sports drink or lemon-lime soda
• 2 cups light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 6 cinnamon sticks
• 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
• 8 cups cranberry juice
• 6 cups pineapple juice
• 4 cups orange juice
• 8 cups ginger ale

1. Arrange 1 cup of gummy worms in the bottom of a 5 cup ring mold. Pour 1 liter of a colored sports drink or lemon-lime soda on top of the worms and freeze overnight.

2. Combine 2 cups of light corn syrup and 1/4 cup of water and stir over medium heat.

3. Add six cinnamon sticks and a half tsp. of all spice to the pot and boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer ingredients for 10 minutes.

4. Cover your pot and refrigerate until it's cold.

5. Discard the cinnamon sticks and pour the mixture into a punch bowl.

6. Mix in 8 cups of cranberry juice, 6 cups of pineapple juice and 4 cups of orange juice. Stir well and then add 8 cups of ginger ale.

7. Take out your gummy worm ice block from the mold and place the ring inside of the punch bowl. Drape the remainder of your gummy worms over your cups for garnish.

Tips & Warnings

• Add 2 tbsp. whole cloves along with your cinnamon sticks to bring out the all spice flavor of the punch. Discard the cloves along with the cinnamon sticks after refrigeration.

• Use cotton balls or a Halloween decorative spider web to drape around the outside of the punch bowl. Place plastic spiders around the spider web for a creepier effect.
