Dripping Blood

Gelatin Hand

For this you will need to purchase a hand mold.
This can be found in most Halloween stores that pop up during the season.

    Ingredients:

  • 2 small boxes of Peach flavored gelatin (3 oz. ea.)
  • Green food coloring
  • 6 ozs. of lite evaporated milk (No other milk will work)

    Instructions:

  • Spray Mold with cooking spray and set aside.

  • Mix the gelatin in a large bowl with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved.

  • Next, add enough cold water to the milk to make 2 cups and add it to the bowl. Stir until blended.

  • Add a few drops of Green food coloring until you get your desired color and look.

  • Now, pour mixture into the mold and refrigerate over night. By wrapping the mold with a towel and placing in a baking pan the mold will stay level while the gelatin sets.

  • To remove hand from mold shake mold gently and place a serving plate over the hand and turn over.

  • To make hand more realistic use a knife to trim away any excess gelatin. Put some red food coloring on the cut off end to resemble Blood.

  • Garnish and place on the table as a unique table decoration.

  • Although the gelatin it edible I find that the presence of the hand on the table creates the effect I need especially when guests try to gather up the nerve to touch the hand. Screams are sure to follow.
