Ingredients
- 2 square marshmallows
- Black food marker
- Straw
- 1 scoop green sherbet
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- 6-10 gummy bugs
Instructions
- Step 1: Make Oogie Boogie’s snake eyes dice by using the black food marker to draw dice details on the 2 square marshmallows. Reference a picture online for accuracy. Carefully push the marshmallows onto the straw through the middle.
- Step 2: Add 1 to 2 scoops of green sherbet into your glass.
- Step 3: Pour lemon-lime soda over the sherbet, filling the glass completely. It will bubble, which is normal.

Tips & Variations
- Use lime sherbet for a brighter green color and refreshing flavor.
- Swap gummy bugs with gummy worms or spiders for a different creepy effect.
- Chill the glass before making the punch to keep it colder longer.
- If you don’t have a black food marker, use edible ink pens or black fondant for the dice details.
Storage
For best taste, prepare and serve Oogie Boogie Punch immediately as the sherbet will melt and soda can lose its fizz. If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and stir gently before serving. Avoid storing the marshmallow dice on the straw overnight to prevent them from becoming sticky.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs

- The black food marker is edible and safe for food decorating, but avoid ingesting the marshmallow surface where the marker is applied directly.
- For a non-alcoholic kid-friendly option, this recipe is perfectly suitable as is. For adults, adding a splash of light rum can enhance the flavor.
- Adjust the number of gummy bugs to suit your preference or thematic decoration.
