Chocolate Blood

1. 1

   Mix cocoa powder into the water before adding the other ingredients.

2. 2

   After adding the rest, blend well, then wait for it to settle a bit.

3. 3

   Either skim the bubbles and chocolate scum off the top with the edge of a facial tissue, or pour the mixture into another container.

4. 4

   The longer it sits, the more the cocoa tends to settle to the bottom, which oddly mimicks the effect of real blood separating.

5. 5

   If you splatter this mixture onto cloth, it makes neat two-part marks which dry into pretty convincing bloodstains.

6. 6

   If you let it run from a victim's mouth and then let it dry, the blood darkens and cakes to the skin in much the same way real blood does.
