Ingredients

1 pkg. (6 oz) purple gelatin (raspberry or grape work well)

3/4- oounces . unflavored gelatin

3- Cups. boiling water

3/4- Cups. whipping cream

green food coloring, as needed

100 plastic straws

Directions

In a medium, heat safe mixing bowl, stir together plain and flavored gelatin powders.

Pour boiling water over, stirring until gelatin is fully dissolved.

Allow gelatin to cool till only slightly warm.

Stir whipping cream into the gelatin mixture.

Stir in green food coloring (you'll probably need 10 drops or more) until your gelatin gets that purpley-brown-grey color of earthworms.

With your 100 straws fully extended and snug in your chosen container, pour the gelatin mixture over the straws, filling the container.

. Cover container and chill at least 8 hours. You can make them and store them this way up to two days in advance of your Halloween party.

Remove straws from their container (cutting or ripping a disposable container away is easiest).

With hot tap water running, place batches of 4-5 straws under hot running water for a couple quick seconds.

Remove "worms" from their straw casings, pressing with fingers. Set on waxed paper to set up.

Repeat until all worms are removed.

Chill, covered, on waxed paper at least 2 hours.

Serve in a chilled bowl, as pictured. Then watch all the kids gobble up this fun Halloween party food. LOL..........EWWWWW LOL

***************************************************************************

Note:

For this recipe, it's important to use a tall, slim container to hold the straws, such as a 1 liter orange juice or milk carton (be sure to use something with a 4 cup capacity).

The straws should fit tightly together. If you use too large a container, the gelatin will run right back out before it sets. Also, be sure to buy the straws with the flexible neck, as they give the worms the most realistic "earthworm" appearance.

Recipe makes about 100 long worms.
