Easy Spooky Halloween Punch For Kids (3 Ingredients!)

Make things a little spooky and a lot more fun with this Halloween punch that’s perfect for kids and adults. With only three ingredients you can bring a little fun to your Halloween party or spooky movie night that the kids will love!

 

Why We Love Halloween Punch

• Fun For Halloween – This easy punch adds a little spooky fun, and we all need more fun.
• Make As Much Or As Little As You Like – This punch is so easy and fun to make for a party, but equally easy to make by the glass for just a few kids for a fun Halloween movie night!

Ingredients For Halloween Punch

• vanilla ice cream
• green berry rush Hawaiian Punch or any other green juice drink. Individual packets can also be mixed with water for single servings
• gummy worms

How To Make Halloween Punch

1. Using an ice cream scoop, add a large scoop of vanilla ice cream to each glass.

2. Pour the Hawaiian punch into the glass, a little more than a cup works great.
3. After the ice cream rises to the top of the glass add gummy worms. I recommend placing the gummy worms over the edges of the glass or floating them on top of the ice cream, so they don’t sink to the bottom immediately. Serve right away and enjoy!

Halloween Punch Variation Ideas

Go Crazy With Toppings – I’ve used gummy worms, but any kinds of gummy bugs will make this recipe a little more spooky, though watch the weight of the candy so they don’t immediately sink to the bottom of the glass. I’ve also seen gummy body parts including gummy eyeballs which are fun! You can also add fun sprinkles.

Use A Different Punch – I like the green Hawaiian punch just because it’s such a fun green color. But you can swap in any green colored juice you prefer. You can also use an orange soda if you prefer, I like to mix it with a lemon lime soda, and you’ll equally have a fun Halloween drink.

Tips For Serving This Halloween Punch To A Crowd

• Serve In A Punch Bowl Or Pitcher – Pour the punch into a classic punch bowl or a large pitcher and add the ice cream right in so everyone can scoop. You do tend to get a little less ice cream per cup this way, but it’s great for self-serve and still delicious.
• Scoop The Ice Cream Ahead Of Time – Scoop it into a muffin tin and keep it in the freezer until you’re ready to serve. This is really handy for a sleepover or movie night with a few extra kids.
• Grab The Individually Portioned Ice Creams – Those old school little party cups with the wooden spoons work great. Let them sit a few minutes, then use a big metal spoon to scoop them into the punch cups fast. Vanilla ice cream bars work too (chocolate coated is fine), and fun seasonal flavors look great. Just skip pumpkin, since it doesn’t go well with the green punch.
• Let Everyone Add Their Own Toppings -A few gummies on top is plenty, since too many will sink. If you’re offering sprinkles or other gummy candy, let the kids pick a few, but know your crowd because some may go a little wild!

How Can I Make This Punch More Green?

A little bit of food coloring can make it more green. I find that the Hawaiian Punch is pretty green, but if you are using one of the green water flavor packets or another juice you can make it more green with food coloring.

Can I Make This Punch Dairy Free?

Yes, I recommend using a dairy free lime sherbet if you want the punch to be non-dairy. I would check the labels carefully though as some brands do contain dairy. Any dairy free vanilla ice cream can work. If someone has an allergy, I recommend asking them for their favorite ice cream brand, if possible, to make sure they can participate.

How Long Will Halloween Punch Last?

Because the ice cream melts, it’s best to enjoy this Halloween punch right away.
