Halloween Dry Ice Cauldron

Having eerie forms of Halloween ice floating in your bowl of Halloween punch can add a neat effect to the Halloween decorations at the snack table. Here are some pretty fun ideas to try out at your Halloween party.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Frozen Hand

Floating Frozen Hand:
To make a floating Halloween ice figure in the shape of a frozen hand, get a rubber glove. Be sure to wash the inside of the glove well. Fill the glove up with water and tie off the end. Place the glove filled with water inside the freezer and allow to freeze thoroughly. When you are ready to add the frozen hand sculpture to your Halloween punch, run the frozen glove under warm water just enough to break the ice away from the glove. By peeling back the glove from the ice, you can remove the ice from the glove and add to your Halloween punch bowl for an effect that’s a bit eerie.

For a more colorful effect add food coloring to the water in the glove before freezing or use punch to fill the glove.
Step 2

Creepy Bug Ice Cubes
Add gummy worms, spiders or other gummy creepy critters, or add clean plastic spiders or other creepy bugs to your ice tray before freezing. Once frozen, add the Halloween ice cubes to your punch to add a Halloween decoration of creepy, crawly bugs floating in the Halloween punch bowl. Again, using colorful ice will add a creepier effect.
Step 3

Eye Frozen in Ice

Other icky Gummy ideas
Usually for Halloween, a variety of creepy gummy figures can be found, such as gummy brains and organs, gummy eyes, gummy skulls and other body parts. These can also be frozen into your ice cubes as an icky Halloween decoration to your Halloween punch. Using creepy or icky gummy pieces can be a nice addition to gelatin shooters as well.
Step 4

Skull Ice Cube Trays

Make Creepy Shaped Halloween Ice
Around Halloween it can be easy to find ice trays with Halloween shaped ice sections. This can make it most easy to simply fill up the trays with plain or colored water or punch to make neat shaped Halloween ice cubes to put into your Halloween punch bowl or in each individual Halloween drink.
