Savory Spread for Halloween

1. For the “blood”: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and the beet juice.

2. Pour in the xanthan while constantly whisking. Set aside. (In case you prefer thinner blood, add just 1 pinch of xanthan. 2 pinches (2 ml) makes a quite thick, curdled-looking “blood”.)

3. For the “toad brains”: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the cream cheese and the garlic bread seasoning with a spoon. Refrigerate.

4. When ready to serve, stir the soy sauce mixture carefully into the cream cheese mixture, creating swirls.

5. Serve with crackers.
