You’ll love this recipe. We brought it all the way from Transylvania. (Don’t fang us now—you can fang us later.)

FAKE BLOOD
Ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 to 4 drops red food coloring
• 3 pinches cornstarch
• 2 pinches cocoa
Recipe: Place the corn syrup into a cup and add the spoonful of water. Stir with a toothpick. Then add the drops of red food coloring and stir it again. Pour the mixture into a plastic bag and add the pinches of cornstarch and cocoa. Seal the bag and squish it all together. Voilà! You’ve made blood fit for a vampire!
Want to pretend you’re Dracula? Drip some of your new fake blood out of the corner of your mouth. Want to fake out your mom? Drip some of it under your nostril and tell her your nose is bleeding. Warning: This blood, like real blood, will stain clothes and carpeting. So it’s best to use it outside.
