Ingredients

  • 2 packages raspberry Jell-O (4 servings each)
  • 3 packages unflavored gelatin (¼ ounce each)
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 15 drops green food coloring

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Stretch out the bendy part of all of your straws. Prepare your "worm mold" by placing the straws into your container. If using a milk carton, do not cut it, just open the top. The tighter they are packed in, the better.
  2. Place the Jell-O and unflavored gelatin in a bowl. Add the boiling water and stir until dissolved.
  3. Let cool to room temperature. Add whipping cream and food coloring. Gently stir.
  4. Pour the Jell-O mixture into the straws. Refrigerate over night.
Removing the Worms
  1. Pinch out a little piece of Jell-O from one end of the straw (about ½") Place 2 or 3 straws on a hard surface and with a rolling pin (on the end that you have pinched out the Jell-O) roll the end of the straw until the worm starts to come out of the straw.
  2. Once the worm has started to move out, it's easy to use your fingers to just push the worm out the rest of the way.
