HOWTO: Make Dexter blood-slide candies

These blood-slide candies, inspired by the serial-killer drama Dexter, are clever and simple: sheets of clear sugar with a little red food coloring, and hey-presto, serial killer gourmet!

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Too bad I didn’t see this earlier – and had any culinary skill whatsoever. I’m actually headed to a bloodstain pattern analysis conference next week and this could have been fun.

That is amazing. Finally, a project on the site that I may be capable of. :p

Last night, I was heating up a pot of spaghetti and meatballs. While cleaning up, I accidentally dropped the pot lid, and tomato sauce spattered all over the floor.

Immediately, Dexter’s voice popped into the back of my head: “Blood spatter. The fight started in the kitchen.”

I need to find a new show to watch.
