Ingredients
- 1 package of Jello (any flavor)
- 1 package of unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups of water
- Flexible straws (not paper)
- Cooking spray (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the Jello and unflavored gelatin. Stir until fully dissolved.
- Add Cold Water: Add the remaining 1 cup of cold water to the mixture. Mix well.
- Fill the Straws: Using a funnel, carefully fill each straw with the Jello mixture. Hold the straws upright and fill them completely.
- Chill: Place the filled straws upright in a glass or cup, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Remove the Worms: Once set, gently squeeze the straw from the bottom while pushing the Jello worm out from the top. Use a knife to help loosen if necessary.
- Display: Arrange the worms on a platter or inside a cup of dirt (crushed Oreos) for a fun presentation.
Notes
For best results, let the worms set overnight. Use thinner straws for more realistic shapes.
