Homemade Jell O Worms Recipes

HOMEMADE JELL-O WORMS

Steps:

• Get your straws and container ready. Make sure the straws are all extended and place inside a tall container. Ensure these are packed in tightly. If needed you can use a rubber band to hold them together.
• Combine Raspberry Jell-O (or the other Jell-O you choose) and Unflavored Gelatin in a large bowl. Add the Boiling water and mix.
• Let mixture cool then add 10-12 drops of Green Food Coloring.
• Add whipping cream to mixture and combine well.
• Pour the mixture into the straws. Try to fill the straws and container as much as possible. The more it's filled, the longer the worms will be.
• Place the container in the fridge for several hours to allow them to get nice and firm.
• When the mixture is firm, take the container out of the fridge and pull the straws out of the container. One by One push the worms out of the straws by using your hand to push from one end to the other. You can also run the straws under warm water and they will fall right out.
• Serve on a cool platter or inside a pumpkin with some candy eyeballs like we did and enjoy!

HOMEMADE GUMMY WORMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour flavored Jell-o and unflavored gelatin packets into saucepan, then and add liquid and whisk to combine. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
• Heat mixture in saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking continuously until melted and dissolved.
• Remove from heat and transfer mixture into silicone gummy worm molds, or silicone molds of choice. (I use a dropper/syringe to make this easier for me, adding ~5mL of liquid per gummy worm cavity.)
• Chill filled molds in refrigerator until hardened. (This should only take around 15-20 minutes.)
• Once set, peel gummy candies from molds and enjoy!
• Store gummies in the fridge in an airtight container, or leave them in the molds and cover until ready to remove and enjoy. Lasts up to 7 days.
• Yields 40 gummy worms. (Filled 2 of my silicone gummy molds.)

JELLY WORMS IN DIRT

Steps:

• Put 3 cups water in a pan, bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Stir in the strawberry and unflavored gelatin until completely dissolved. Stir in the cream. Pour the hot liquid into a bowl and let stand until slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a tall drinking glass wide enough to hold all the straws, cut out a circle from the slice of bread to fit in the bottom of the glass. Bundle the straws together with a rubber band and stand them up in the glass, pressing the bottom ends into the circle of bread.
• Using a spouted measuring cup, pour the gelatin mixture into the tops of the straws. Refrigerate until chilled and set up completely, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Put the chocolate wafers in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Arrange the crushed cookie on a plate or in a cleaned flower pot.
• Use the back of a flat wooden spoon to push the gelatin out of the straws. Toss the jelly worms into the crushed cookies, leaving some to stick out.

HALLOWEEN WORMS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine gelatins.
• 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.
• Cover and chill until ready to use, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
• Worms will hold at room temperature up to 2 hours.
