Fake-blood recipe

[Cracker Funk]

corn syrup
LOTS of red food coloring
just a tad of blue food coloring
a few sprinkles of water
a hint of unsweetened chocolate powder
a few more sprinkles of water

It doesn't just look realistic, your cast will love the flavor! My recipe for fake-poop is even better. That's just a brownie smashed-up to look like a poop.

interesting. I always used a dash of green instead of blue

for blood that isn't edible, but washes out of clothes... use dawn and red koolaide powder

We've tried several types of movie blood. Some wash out of your clothes and furniture and some don't. Try a small amount of it before you commit to using it. By the way, we had to repaint a whole wall because the fake blood permanently stained it...bummer.

A note on corn syrup based blood: It doesn't keep forever. After a year, it spreads apart rather than staying where you put it (if you're covering an actor in blood). Since it's so cheap to make, I make it fresh every production, then serve the actors pancakes at the end using the leftover blood as syrup
