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.
