excuse me for making gummy worms we're going to sweeten them with juice so

they're kind of healthy and they'll be perfect to freak people out

just really little kids I mean on Halloween

first thing I want to do is set some water in the kettle to boil and then

we're gonna get our worm molds, our moldy worms

so I'm using regular drinking straws these i got them at ikea but you can get

these big fat straws

they're called milkshake straws you can get straws like this at any regular

grocery store or you can steal a bunch of them from mcdonalds because they're

like the big straws and McDonald's has got about 50 here just sort of bind them

together with a rubber band and then put them in a bowl or in a jar that fits

them nicely so I found that for this many, a 12-ounce wide mouth

canning jar works really well and then I've got that sitting in

what's going to be an ice water bath so that we can chill our gelatin

really quickly mean whoa

I've got a cup of juice here this is a hundred percent juice i'm using a what

was it i think a cranberry grape juice but anything I think something kind of

in the red color works best to make these gummy worms look extra realistic

earthworm

so I'm going to add some poison I mean sugar and you can leave the sugar out if

you want to make them just all fruit juice sweetened obviously will be less

sweet and then we're going to add four little envelopes of gelatin

you can buy this plain gelatin right next to where you find the jello and

stuff like that so one ounce total and then sometimes you can find like

grass-fed gelatin

but that I don't know that would require a little bit of hunting i think but i

know it exists

so we're going to add four of these and whatever you are doing anything with

gelatin same thing like when you're making jello and everything you want to

not drop the paper in there but you want to make sure that you dissolve the

gelatin and cold liquid first you don't try to jump the gelatin and hot liquid

it just gets all clumpy and terrible

just mix this up no start looking at the real growth and then to give our worm

some opacity some opaque color i'm adding some half and half

you can leave this out if you don't want to add dairy products to your gummy

worms

I totally get it that sounds a little gross but it'll make them look a little

more realistic

ok so once your water comes to a boil and add boiling water and this is one

time I would really really recommend using one of these two cup

pyrex measuring cups it'll make it easier to pour and you won't have to

worry about the glass breaking with mixing the boiling water with the cold

once that's all mixed up and it doesn't look chunky any more like with the

gelatin globs in there

I'm gonna add some water to this little ice situation here and then you just

want to carefully pour a little bit less than half of this liquid into the straws

if you can get straws that are like white or light-colored that makes it a

lot easier to tell how fold your filling them try to get them kind of even and

I've tried this with the bendy straws and they are just such a pain in the

nuts to get out

I did not find it was worth it so we're going to do instead is do a little

two-tone coloring to make these look a little bit more realistic

so that's about half I'm going to let it sit here in this ice baths for maybe 10

minutes maybe up to 20 minutes until this first layer of gelatin sets and

then to the remaining i'm going to add just a couple drops of red food coloring

if you wanted to do this in two separate batches

if you don't need food coloring you could use like two different types of

juice or something to to get a natural color variation so i'll see you back

when this is set

haha ok 10 minutes later these have set

so when I move it around it's fairly stable so we're gonna go ahead and pour

the rest

this liquid in here just try to get them as even as you can and try not to fill

them all the way up you want to leave yourself at least an inch at the top

that's going to make it a lot easier to get them out

ok so once they're pretty much filled we can take this out of the water bath

you just want to find a nice spot in your fridge where you can leave it alone

for overnight until the gelatin fully sets

see you tomorrow if you survive

so we all made it congratulations no one died

this is our set gelatin is going to put it back in my ice water and then pour

some warm water around it

get that loosened up so I can pull it out of the jar

it's gonna make an awesome sound

hmm

I'm like a wet fart you can run them under hot water or just kind of dip them

or kind of just rolling around on your hands

I kind of hate it when you're supposed to run things under hot water because it

just seems like such a waste of water so i was trying to find another way to do

it that may not be quite as efficient but at least I'm not pouring water down

the drain

okay enough environmental Priscilla Tizen ok so then this is why you want to

leave yourself a couple inches at the top so you can kind of pinch it

he just squeezed it out see you got an awesome

two-tone earthworm do a couple more exes are fun

if they're sticking to be able to

yeah

first you'll probably look a little raggedy but you'll get the hang of it

they're yeah they're trying to make some mostly all natural

gummy worms without points for everything like that and look I think

they look really realistic

gross okay we'll check out i didnae eyeball punch for Halloween last year

and i'll also post a link to my Halloween playlist you can see all of

those and that's a circus who actually just tastes like juice

not bad I have a happy halloween everyone and i'll see you next time
