Halloween Treats: Green Goblin Punch

Just completely ignore the fact that it is after Halloween. Just think of it as being really prepared for next year right? This was a fun drink to make, but oddly enough, my kids didn't like it, but my husband and I did.  

 

Green Goblin Punch

3  cups apple juice
3  cups plain seltzer
Corn syrup
Colored sugar crystals
2  cups prepared green Jell-O

Combine apple juice and seltzer in a pitcher and chill. Dunk the rims of serving glasses in corn syrup, gently shake off excess syrup or use a thin paintbrush to wipe off excess. Dredge rims in colored sugars. Place glasses upside down on wax paper in the refrigerator to set. When ready to serve, place spoonfuls of Jell-O in decorated glasses and fill with apple-juice mixture
