Here's a Frightfully Delicious Recipe for Halloween Punch:

Bubbly Black Punch with Wormy Ice Ring

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 16 (3/4 cup each)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup gummy worm candies
  • 4 cups green berry rush kiwi-strawberry fruit punch (from 128-oz container)
  • 2 cans (12 oz. each) orange carbonated beverage
  • 2 cans (12 oz. each) grape carbonated beverage
  • 1 can (11.5 oz.) frozen grape juice concentrate, thawed
  • 3 cans (12 oz. each) sparkling mineral water

Directions: 

  • 1.  In bottom of 6-cup ring mold, scatter most of candy works.  Pour fruit punch over candy, filling to within 1 inch of top (candy worms will float to top).  Place remaining candy worms over edge of mold.  Freeze 5 to 6 hours or until solid.
  • 2.  Just before serving, in 3-quart or larger punch bowl, mix carbonated beverages, thawed juice concentrate and mineral water.
  • 3.  Dip outside of ring mold in hot water until ice ring is loosened.  Remove ice ring and place in punch so gummy worms are visible.
