1/2 cup (120 ml) of red fruit punch 1 cup (300 g) of corn syrup (or golden syrup) 2 tablespoons of red food coloring 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup 2 tablespoons of cornstarch 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
If you don’t have a blender, you could use a large food processor.
For example, if the fake blood looks too pink or pale, add a few drops of red food coloring and blend it again. Or if the fake blood looks too bright red, add some more chocolate syrup or powder and blend it again.
If you don’t want to use corn syrup, you could substitute golden syrup.
You may need to pulse the mixture to break up any clumps of powdered sugar.
The cocoa will help the fake blood thicken a little and will make it turn a more realistic shade of red.
You can transfer the fake blood to a squeeze bottle and squirt it when you’re ready to use it. Just store it in the refrigerator until you need it.
If you don’t have a whisk, you can use a fork to quickly combine the water and flour.
Cooking the flour and water mixture will make your fake blood thick.
You can add more red food coloring for a brighter shade of fake blood.
