We make this edible fake blood every year in our house at Halloween time. It has been used for zombie photo shoots, poured over a giant cake eyeball, drizzled on top of ice cream, french toast, cinnamon rolls and a bunch of other tasty treats. Make this for yourself and have fun making a bloody mess this Halloween.
Ingredients
Golden syrup – This is the main ingredient to make your fake blood. It gives the sauce its glossy appearance and its thick, drippy consistency. You can trade this out for maple syrup or a thinned corn syrup if that’s what you have on hand.
Chocolate sauce – You will want to use a simple chocolate sauce for this recipe. The hard set style chocolate sauces wont work well here. The chocolate sauce gives your fake blood a much more realistic look with an added opacity. It also makes the red color deeper and richer.
Red food coloring – I use liquid food coloring as it also thins out the sauce a little at the same time, giving it the perfect consistency.
