Ingredients for Halloween Gummy Worms:
Method of preparing the Halloween Gummy Worms:
-
In a medium-sized bowl, place the two cups of boiling water, the strawberry Jell-O, and the 3 packets of unflavored gelatin.
-
Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the sugar and gelatin have dissolved. Leave the bowl for thirty minutes so that it cools down to room temperature.
-
Grab your straws and make sure that they are all fully extended. Once they are all extended, take a rubber band and place it around your straws. Then, place your bound straws in a cup.
-
Add the cream and the 12-15 drops of food coloring to the bowl, and give it a quick stir.
-
Place some of the mixture into a measuring jug and pour it through the straws in your cup. Place the cup and straws into the freezer for around 20 minutes.
-
After 20 minutes have passed, top up the straws with the remaining mixture. Once complete, place in the fridge for around 3 hours.
-
Take the straws out of the fridge, take off the rubber band, and run under warm water for 2-3 seconds. Pinch the end of each straw, and squeeze out the gummy worms.
