Sometimes when you need fake blood and guts, it helps to be able to chomp on some of your home made gore for added costume effect.

Many fake blood recipes are made with items found in your kitchen. Some even incorporate cocoa and sugars for a bloody treat that tastes good, too. I spent the day on my front porch with a bunch of ingredients and mixing bowls, figuring out the best measurements for each of these gross, yet edible, recipes. See which one will work best for your costume:

  • Spray-Bottle Blood - This water-based recipe is great for spraying clothes with blood.
  • Dark, Thin Blood - This lightweight recipe is good for smearing on clothing or walls.
  • Thick, Realistic Blood - A touch of cocoa gives this thick blood a dark tint.
  • Gross Blood - With flakes of skin and scabs inside.
  • Fake Flesh - Make chunks of flesh using items found in your kitchen.
  • Dripping Blood - This reddish brown blood is the perfect consistency for dripping down the walls.
  • Scabs - Make a clump of bumpy brownish scabs. Yum!
  • Prop Guts - Use our fake flesh and gross blood recipes for disgusting decoration.
