Rotten Apple Punch

Directions

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.
