    Recipe Introduction


    Notes: Use a cleaned 1-quart milk or orange juice carton to hold straws

    List of Ingredients




    Halloween Worms

    Makes about 100, including a few casualties


    1 pkg. (6 oz.) raspberry or grape flavor gelatin
    3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
    3 cups boiling water
    100 flexible plastic straws
    1 tall (same height as extended straws), slender 4 cup container
    3/4 cup whipping cream
    12 to 15 drops green food coloring

    Recipe



    In a bowl, combine gelatins. Add boiling water; stir until gelatins completely dissolve. Chill until lukewarm, about 20 min. 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 temp. up to 2 hours.
