studded with black spiders.
To make the icy decoration, fill a metal bowl or ring mold half way with water.
Sprinkle with black plastic spiders (available at party or Halloween stores).
Place carefully in the freezer until solid.
Add another layer of water to fill the container. Place more black plastic spiders in the water. Return to freezer until solid.
To remove ice block, invert the bowl or mold and place hot towels on the bottom of it. Lift the mold away from the ice. Place ice ring or block in punch bowl. Add punch to cover.
We don’t recommend using ice cubes with punch because they melt too quickly, making your punch watery and, if there are plastic spiders in them, they could become a choking hazard.
You can use your favorite punch recipe or try our Spider’s Venom: Combine 1 quart cranberry juice, 1 (750-milliliter) bottle dry white wine, 1 cup brandy, the slices of 1 lemon and 1/4 cup sugar or to taste. Stir to combine.
Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, place ice block in large punch bowl and add cranberry mixture. Add 1 to 2 bottles club soda or to taste. Makes 24 servings; serve in punch cups.
