“Nobody likes me, everybody hates me. Guess I’ll go eat worms!” 

Slimy, scary, and oh so succulent Halloween Jell-O worms are a tasty treat to try this month with your kiddos!

Eating slimy Jell-O worms for a Halloween treat!

Halloween Slimy Worms

Ingredients

  • 1 box 3 oz red Jell-O (I used raspberry)
  • 1/2 pkg unflavored gelatin for extra firmness
  • 6 tbsp whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water
  • green food coloring
  • 50 + flexible plastic straws

Instructions

  • Combine 1/2 pkg gelatin and one pkg red Jell-O in bowl and add boiling water. Stir until dissolved.
  • Let it cool to lukewarm and then add the whipping cream and about 8-10 drops of green food coloring (to get the milky red color). Stir again.
  • Stretch out the bendy part of all of your straws. Place them all into a bowl or container.  The tighter they are packed in, the better. I like to add a large rubber band around them.
  • Pour the Jell-O mixture into the straws. Let it set until firm. You can refrigerate overnight if you have time.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll over the straws and squeeze them out. You can also hold the straws under warm water to release the worms.
  • Add slimy worms to a bowl and serve your spooky treat!
