PEANUT BUTTER BLOOD

Note: Feel free to use in and around the mouth, or on items that may go into the mouth. It should taste much like the peanut butter center of your standard candy peanut butter cup (especially if you add chocolate).

1. Use smooth or creamy peanut butter for best results. Chunky peanut butter will add a coagulated look, but it's harder to work with.    
2. Slowly mix in corn syrup until the desired consistency is reached. As the mixture ages, it will thicken a bit, providing more realism.    
3. 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.
4. Note that this mixture may stain clothing, so be sure you don't want to use the clothes for normal wear again.
