This Dexter lollipop DIY concept operates on the principal that the more real something is, the scarier it has the potential to be.
For those who haven't seen the show, Dexter centers around a serial killer who works as a forensic blood splatter analyst. At night, however, Dexter satisfies his blood-thirsty impulse by enacting vigilante justice on the criminals and low-lifes of Miami. Dexter keeps a slide with a single drop of blood from each victim; a token to remember them by, you could say.
The Forkable blog decided to recreate Dexter's "trophy case" for a scary Halloween treat. All you need is sugar, corn syrup, water and red food dye, and you'll be creeping out your friends and family in no time!
