    Recipe Introduction


    Makes about 100, including a few casualties
    Notes: Use a cleaned 1-quart milk or orange juice carton to hold straws

    List of Ingredients




    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.
