In this recipe, you will find a 5 minute trick which will turn your regular walnuts into bloody candied brains! This one will make even the undead feel uneasy.
All you need for this trick is some walnut halves, brown sugar, honey and red food colouring. First off, melt the brown sugar and honey together. Then coat the walnuts and add red food colouring, spreading on a single layer before leaving to harden. Then serve them up to your ghoulish guests.
Bug Bites:
