Comments on How to Make Gruesome Food for Halloween

I have a mini water cooler that becomes our radioactive punch cooler every Halloween! The punch is made of Mountain Dew, orange Juice and blue Kool-Aid powder (1 envelope - sugar free). First, I activate some glow sticks by cracking them and shaking them up - I put them in the water cooler bottle - then I add the punch. The glow sticks make the whole bottle glow - it's always a hit!

Using any breadstick roll out each stick longer than normal. Slice into finger lengths. Indent to form knuckles. You may also use a sharp knife to make wrinkles on the knuckles.
