Conveniently for chocolate lovers who are also Halloween fans, chocolate syrup has a good consistency for making fake blood. With the addition of some food coloring, it also quickly develops a suitable color for fake blood, which is actually a reddish-brown rather than a bright red. Choose a method and experiment away, until you get the desired consistency and look for adding blood to your face, costume... or even your cake!
