Realistic Homemade Worms Recipes

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.)

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.

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.

HOMEMADE GUMMY WORMS

Steps:

• 1. Combine gelatin in bowl and add boiling water.
• 2. Let it cool to lukewarm and then add the whipping cream and 15 drops green food coloring.
• 3. Gather your straws (don't forget to flex them out) and put them in the container. It's important that the straws have a tight fit so the jello stays in the straws. For this reason, a 1 liter carton may be better; you will probably get longer worms since there is a tighter fit. If you have a bigger container, a rubber band around the straws is helpful. Or you could just add more straws to fill the container.
• 4. Add the gelatin mixture to the straw-filled container and let it set until firm.
• 5. There are multiple ways you can remove the worms from the straws. You can roll a rolling pin over the straws and squeeze them out or you can hold the straws over warm water. The worms will slip right out.
