Anyone need some blood for Halloween? Of course you do!

Most years you would just pick up fake blood at your favorite Halloween supply store. Not this year my friend.

You can actually make it yourself for real cheap. You may even have all the ingredients at home already. If not, no worries, because it only takes four simple things to concoct.

Here is all you will need:

  • 8 ounces of water
  • 16 ounces of powdered sugar
  • 1 ounce bottle of red food coloring
  • 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder

This will actually make you almost a pitcher full so cut the recipe if you want to make less than that.

Merely mix up all these ingredients and you should end up with something very close to what they sell in the stores. Plus, it's non-toxic, so you don't have to worry about your kids eating it.

And even if you have to buy all the ingredients, this shouldn't set you back more than ten bucks.
