Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar white
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 12 cupcakes chocolate red velvet or any other variety
  • 16 ounces white frosting
  • red food gel coloring

Instructions

  • Combine the sugar, light corn syrup, and water in a small saucepan. Heat with medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Boil until it reaches 275 degrees F using a candy thermometer.
  • Add the glass candy mixture to a baking sheet or cookie sheet with higher edges. Spread it out with a spatula so it’s even and covers the entire cookie sheet. Allow it to sit for 2-3 hours.
  • Using a wooden spoon or small hammer, crack the glass candy into shards. Frost the cupcakes and add glass candy to each cupcake. Add droplets of red food coloring gel. You can mix a little bit of gel food coloring to water to it splashes like real blood.
  • Serve and enjoy!
