Making Phony Blood for Halloween party

 This is the best mix of recipes I've seen so far because it shows you a non-toxic version, a toxic (more authentic) Hollywood movie set version, an edible version for cakes, splatter blood (ha!) and even blood for art.

You need only:

• Arrowroot powder (or corn starch, but Arrowroot makes for a less clumpy mixture) 
• white corn syrup
• water
• basic red and blue food coloring (green works too if you don't have blue)

Start with a cup of corn syrup in a bowl. Stir in a tablespoon of Arrowroot powder or cornstarch. Slowly add in water (up to 1/3 cup) until you get the perfect consistency of blood. This is your base.

To add the dye, add a few drops of red food coloring, stirring it in until you have a bright red color. Add a couple drops of blue or green food color to make the "blood" look more authentic. Set aside to thicken, then apply to face, clothes or body. Warning: This fake blood will stain clothing!
