-Jerry | 1 Package Red Jell-O
1 Heart Mold
1 Zip Lock Bag
1 Cup Karo Syrup
2 TSP Red Food Coloring | Make a Red Jell-O in a Heart Mold. Before putting in the refrigerator, put a zip lock bag in the mold with Karo Syrup with red food coloring. When it hardens, serve to your guests and watch when they cut into the Jell-O, the red blood oozes out. Make sure you get the zip lock bag out of the Jell-O before your friends choke on it and sue you. | Boogers on a Stick

Then form the meat mixture into about 18 to 24 eyeball-sized balls. Press an olive into each ball, pimento side out. Place the eyeballs in a baking dish, cover them with spaghetti sauce and bake for 45 minutes. About 15 minutes before the eyeballs are done, fill a large pot with 3 quarts of water. Add salt. Set on medium heat and follow package directions to cook the spaghetti. Drain and transfer it to a serving bowl and toss with the butter or margarine. When your eyeballs are done, remove them from the oven and spoon onto the spaghetti, irises up. Spoon sauce from the pan around them. | Vomit Stew
