Pinterest in Real Life – Make Your Own Fake Blood

You have your candy, you've carved your pumpkins, your costume is complete... or is it?? T-minus three days until Halloween - are you prepared? Even if you totally are, this may just be the perfect recipe to keep in your back pocket. 

Supposedly with just FOUR ingredients, you can make your own fake blood. Chances are you already have all thee ingredients in your kitchen. Also, it's supposed to look super realistic, and best of all it's NOT toxic - win, win, win! Now, to find out if it actually works! Welcome back to Pinterest in Real Life, here goes nothing:

To make an entire pitcher:

• Eight ounces of water
• 16 ounces of powdered sugar
• A one-ounce bottle of red food coloring
• A tablespoon of cocoa powder to make it a nice DARK red

If you want to make the amount I did in the video (I did a quarter of the recipe):

• 1/4 Cup of water
• 1/2 Cup of powdered sugar
• 1/4 of the one ounce bottle of red food coloring
• Less than a teaspoon of cocoa powder
