Bloody Punch - Count Dracula Won't Be Able To Resist!

Ingredients:

1 Can frozen orange juice concentrate (with pulp)
1 Can frozen cranberry juice
1 Bottle Sprite or 7-up
Red food coloring (paste works best)
Plastic eyes, fingers, etc.
Frozen cranberry juice ice cubes

Directions:

1. Mix the orange juice and cranberry concentrates together with 4 cups water.

2. Add about 1-teaspoon red food coloring paste (or 8 to 9 drops of red liquid food coloring). This will help make the punch look more "bloody". Pour in the pop just before serving.

3. When ready to serve, put the red ice cubes into bowl. (Hint: if you can find some ice cube trays shaped like body parts, this would make the punch even better!)

Gross Recipes for Halloween: Graveyard Cake

Ingredients:

1 Dark Chocolate Cake Mix
Cherry Pie Filling
White Icing Chocolate cookie wafers
Green Food Coloring (paste is best)
Small plastic ghosts, goblins, trees

Directions:

1. Make a square or round chocolate cake according to package directions. Let cool.

2. While cake is cooling, make white icing. Tint with green food coloring.

3. Cut about ½ inch off across the bottom of the cake, straight across from side to side. Scoop out the center area of the cake to make a hole (but don't go straight through cake). Set cake crumbs aside.

4. Fill the well with Cherry Pie Filling. Replace the bottom of the cake that you sliced off earlier and set the cake down on a plate.

5. Frost the cake with the green icing. Place chocolate wafers along the top to look like tombstones. Add a few plastic ghosts and goblins. Put some of the reserved cake crumbs around the tombstones to look like freshly dug graves. (You could also get some small doll hands and place them sticking out of the graves).

6. When you cut the cake, the pie filling will ooze out and look like blood.
