Yield: Makes about 10 servings
See Cooking Videos
Ingredients:
Creepy Crawler Ice Ring (recipe follows)

1
cup boiling water

2
packages (4-serving size each) lime-flavored gelatin

3
cups cold water

1-1/2
liters (48 ounces) carbonated lemon-lime beverage, chilled

1/2
cup superfine sugar

Gummy worms (optional)



Preparation:
1.
Prepare Creepy Crawler Ice Ring one day before serving. Freeze.

2.
Pour boiling water over gelatin in heatproof punch bowl; stir until gelatin dissolves. Stir in cold water. Add lemon-lime beverage and sugar; stir well (mixture will foam for several minutes).

3.
Before serving, unmold ice ring by dipping bottom of mold briefly into hot water; add to punch bowl. Serve cups of punch garnished with gummy worms, if desired.


Haunted Hint: This Magic Potion can easily go from creepy to cute. For the punch, use orange-flavored gelatin instead of lime. For the ice ring, use candy corn and candy pumpkins instead of gummy worms.
