Halloween Worm Entree

Day 21
*Important Note I made a major fail on these worms. Make sure you go to the bottom to see what it was, so I can save you from making the same mistake.







 I used the recipe from Food.com click HERE to get it.
Started out with the below ingredients and a dollar store butter dish.

 In a bowl, combine gelatin's.

 Add boiling water; stir until gelatins completely dissolve. Chill until lukewarm, about 20 minutes.

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, or use your fingers; lay worms on waxed paper-lined baking sheets.

 I crumbled a little bit of Oreo cookie on my worms to look like dirt!



Fail
If you noticed my worms didn't have the cool little ridges on them like other that have made these. I bought extra skinny cheap straws. When I tried to squeeze out the worms the ridges would rip and the jello would ooze out. So I had to just squeeze out the other end and so my worms weren't very long either. So make sure you buy normal size straws and make sure they are thick enough to not rip so easily.
