Ingredients
To make Jello Gummy Worms, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 package of Jello Gelatin (any flavor of your choice)
– 1 cup of boiling water
– 1 cup of cold water
– Food coloring (optional, to give the worms a more vibrant look)
– Plastic or silicone worm-shaped molds (available at most baking supply stores)
Instructions
1. Begin by boiling the water. Once it’s boiling, remove it from the heat and stir in the Jello Gelatin packet until it’s completely dissolved. Make sure to mix it well.
2. Next, add the cold water to the mixture and stir it again. The solution should start to thicken as it cools down.
3. If you want to add food coloring, now is the time. Add a few drops of your chosen color and mix it in until you achieve the desired shade.
4. Pour the Jello mixture into the worm-shaped molds. If you don’t have molds, you can use a spoon to create worms on a flat surface or a baking sheet. Fill the molds or surfaces with the mixture, ensuring that the worms are evenly distributed.
5. Place the molds or surfaces in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the Jello is completely set. For a more intense color, you can leave them in for longer.
6. Once the Jello is set, gently remove the gummy worms from the molds. If you used a baking sheet, you can run a knife under warm water to release the worms.
7. Serve the Jello Gummy Worms as a delightful dessert or use them as a fun and creative party favor. They’re perfect for any occasion!
