No party is complete without a punch bowl. Welcome your guests with an elaborate spread this Halloween without breaking the bank or spending too much time in the kitchen. Whether you choose to make your punch a ghoulish bowl of floating tricks or a treat for everyone to enjoy, you will be delighted with how simple it can be. You can make a playful candy corn punch by combining mango nectar – which will sink to the bottom of the pitcher – with orange soda  and top it off with a layer of whipped cream. The mixture will look like candy corn in a pitcher! Or you can simply throw some dry ice in a bowl to keep your favorite punch chilled and create an eerie rolling fog effect. Throw in a few shaped ice cubes or “floating eyeball” gummies and you’ll have yourself a spooky treat. In this video, Chef Susie provides an easy-to-follow demonstration that will help you learn to make a festive Halloween punch. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
