Rotten Apple Punch

1. 1

   Pour apple cider into all 5 (1/2-cup) containers, stopping about 1/2-inch from the top.

2. 2

   Add 2 drops of red and 1 drop of green food coloring to each container and stir until the colors have blended.

3. 3

   Hang 2 or 3 gummy worms around the edge of each dish and place the dishes in the freezer.

4. 4

   If you use more than 3 worms, the rotten apples won't float as well.

5. 5

   Freeze until the rotten apples are solid.

6. 6

   Just before serving, slip the frozen wormy apples out of the dishes by setting them briefly in a few inches of warm water in your sink.

7. 7

   Float the rotten apples in a large punch bowl filled with apple cider.

8. 8

   For added creepiness, drape the gummy worms over the edges of your serving bowl as shown.
