Worms

By Shea McLay

You can use any colour gelatin.

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. (6 oz.) raspberry or grape flavour gelatin
  • 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 100 flexible plastic straws
  • 1 tall (same height as extended straws), slend 4 cup container
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 12 to 15 drops green food colouring

Directions

In a bowl, combine gelatins. Add boiling water; stir until gelatins completely dissolve. Chill until lukewarm, about 20 min.

Meanwhile, gently pull straws to extend to full length; place in tall container. Blend cream and food coloring with the lukewarm gelatin mixture.

Pour into container, filling straws. Chill until gelatin is firm, at least 8 hours, or cover and chill up to 2 days.

Pull straws from container (if using a carton, tear carton away from straws). Pull straws apart; run hot tap water for about 2 seconds over 3 to 4 straws at a time. Starting at the empty ends, push worms from straws with rolling pin, lay worms on waxed paper-lined cookie sheets. Refridgerate until ready to use, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. Worms will stay formed at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
