- Refrigerate the punch for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the gummies to soften slightly.
- Just before serving, carefully add a few small pieces of dry ice to the punch. Use tongs or gloves to handle the dry ice and avoid direct skin contact.

Notes
For a flavor boost, experiment with cranberry juice or white grape juice. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or lemon juice. For a creepy effect, freeze gummy worms and eyeballs in ice cubes. If dry ice is unavailable, use club soda for a milder fizz. For an adult version, add vodka, rum, or tequila (about 1/2 cup per batch, adjust to taste). To keep the fizz fresh, add the ginger ale and dry ice just before serving. Store any leftover punch in the refrigerator without the dry ice.
