Peanut Butter Blood (edible)

• Use smooth or creamy peanut butter for best results. Chunky peanut butter will add a coagulated look, but it's harder to work with.

• Slowly mix in corn syrup until the desired consistency is reached. As the mixture ages, it will thicken a bit, providing more realism.

• Slowly add single drops of red food coloring until the mixture is dark red; the darker the better - it will look more like real, drying blood.

• If wished, add a little bit of chocolate sauce or chocolate fudge for a darker color.
• If you want a thicker mixture, slowly add corn starch (in very small amounts to ensure even mixing). The solution should thicken with time.

• Note that this mixture may stain clothing, so be sure you don't want to use the clothes for normal wear again.
