Steps:
- Put 3 cups water in a pan, bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Stir in the strawberry and unflavored gelatin until completely dissolved. Stir in the cream. Pour the hot liquid into a bowl and let stand until slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using a tall drinking glass wide enough to hold all the straws, cut out a circle from the slice of bread to fit in the bottom of the glass. Bundle the straws together with a rubber band and stand them up in the glass, pressing the bottom ends into the circle of bread.
- Using a spouted measuring cup, pour the gelatin mixture into the tops of the straws. Refrigerate until chilled and set up completely, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Put the chocolate wafers in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Arrange the crushed cookie on a plate or in a cleaned flower pot.
- Use the back of a flat wooden spoon to push the gelatin out of the straws. Toss the jelly worms into the crushed cookies, leaving some to stick out.

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruit, gelatin, and other ingredients will give your jelly worms the best flavor and texture.
- Chill the gelatin mixture thoroughly: This will help the jelly worms set properly.
- Use a variety of colors and flavors: This will make your jelly worms more visually appealing and interesting to eat.
- Get creative with your toppings: You can use a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, edible glitter, or chopped nuts, to decorate your jelly worms.
- Serve your jelly worms immediately: Jelly worms are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them as soon as they are made.
Conclusion:
Squirmy jelly worms are a fun and easy treat to make. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or any other special occasion. With a little creativity, you can make jelly worms that are both delicious and visually appealing. So next time you are looking for a fun and easy snack, give squirmy jelly worms a try!
