Homemade Jell O Worms Food

HOMEMADE JELL-O WORMS

Steps:

• Get your straws and container ready. Make sure the straws are all extended and place inside a tall container. Ensure these are packed in tightly. If needed you can use a rubber band to hold them together.
• Combine Raspberry Jell-O (or the other Jell-O you choose) and Unflavored Gelatin in a large bowl. Add the Boiling water and mix.
• Let mixture cool then add 10-12 drops of Green Food Coloring.
• Add whipping cream to mixture and combine well.
• Pour the mixture into the straws. Try to fill the straws and container as much as possible. The more it's filled, the longer the worms will be.
• Place the container in the fridge for several hours to allow them to get nice and firm.
• When the mixture is firm, take the container out of the fridge and pull the straws out of the container. One by One push the worms out of the straws by using your hand to push from one end to the other. You can also run the straws under warm water and they will fall right out.
• Serve on a cool platter or inside a pumpkin with some candy eyeballs like we did and enjoy!

JELLO WORMS: HOW TO MAKE A BOWL WORMS

Steps:

• In a large measuring cup, combine the Jello and the unflavoured gelatin.
• Add the boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
• Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes or until lukewarm.
• Stretch each of the straws open to extend the flexible parts and then put the straws into the mason jar with the flexible side closer to the bottom.
• Add the green food colouring to the whipping cream and stir until combined. (Just stir it, don't whip it).
• Pour the whipping cream mixture into the Jello mixture and stir until it's well combined.
• Pour the mixture through the top of the straws until it fills the container. The straws will self level so don't worry about filling each individual straw.
• Chill for at least 8 hours.
• Run each straw under hot water for a few seconds.
• Pinch the straw from the top down to squeeze out each worm.
• If you are making these in advance, squeeze the worms onto a waxed paper lined baking sheet and store, covered, in the fridge until you are ready to serve them.
• These can be made up to 2 days in advance.

JELLY WORMS IN DIRT

Steps:

• Put 3 cups water in a pan, bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Stir in the strawberry and unflavored gelatin until completely dissolved. Stir in the cream. Pour the hot liquid into a bowl and let stand until slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a tall drinking glass wide enough to hold all the straws, cut out a circle from the slice of bread to fit in the bottom of the glass. Bundle the straws together with a rubber band and stand them up in the glass, pressing the bottom ends into the circle of bread.
• Using a spouted measuring cup, pour the gelatin mixture into the tops of the straws. Refrigerate until chilled and set up completely, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Put the chocolate wafers in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Arrange the crushed cookie on a plate or in a cleaned flower pot.
• Use the back of a flat wooden spoon to push the gelatin out of the straws. Toss the jelly worms into the crushed cookies, leaving some to stick out.
