Spooky Punch
- 2 packages gummy bear worms
- 1 (32-ounce) container cranberry juice
- 6 plastic drinking straws
- 6 pitted prunes
- 18 whole cloves
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sweetened flake coconut
- 3 (12-ounce) bottles strawberry smoothies
- 2 quarts orange juice
- 3 cans lemon/lime soda
- Stick 1 gummy worm in each cube, with half of the worm hanging out.
- Pour cranberry juice into the ice cube trays.
- Place in freezer 2 hours before mixing the punch.
- For the shrunken head straws:
- Push a straw up through the center of 1 prune where the pit used to be, so it sits one-third of the way down the straw.
- Repeat with remaining prunes.
- In a small bowl melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave for 45 second at 15-second intervals stirring between intervals.
- Take 12 cloves and dip the round ends into the melted chocolate.
- Place on a plate lined with waxed paper and allow chocolate to set about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile using a small brush or toothpick coat the top part of each prune with melted white chocolate.
- Carefully sprinkle the coconut on top of the white chocolate to resemble hair.
- Repeat with the remaining prunes.
- Stick 2 white chocolate-coated cloves into each prune to create 2 eyes.
- Place 1 undipped clove into each prune under the eyes to resemble a nose.
- For the punch:
- Pour the strawberry smoothies, the orange juice and the lemon/lime soda into a large punch bowl and stir.
- Take the gummy worm ice cubes out of the freezer, and add half of them to the punch.
- Place remaining cubes into glasses and fill each glass with punch using a ladle.
