Gummy Worms In Dirt
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 15 minutes plus waiting time
Cooking time: 2 minutes
- 1 packet raspberry jelly
- 3 teaspoons powdered gelatine
- 1/4 cup/60ml/2flozs cherry juice (or dark coloured juice)
- 1/4 cup/60ml/2flozs cream
- Handful of bendy straws
- 10 Oreo cookies
Step 1 - Extend the bendy straws so that they are stretched out. Place a rubber band on top and the bottom to secure them together. Wrap a ziplock bag around them and secure with another couple of rubber bands. Place with the bendy half pointing down in a tall, flat bottomed glass.
Step 2 - Place the jelly powder and gelatine in a bowl and add 1 cup of boiling water. Whisk to combine completely. Add the cherry juice and cream and whisk. Place in a jug and pour into the holes. Refrigerate for 3 hours until set.
Step 3 - Blend up the Oreos until they look like dirt and then place on a serving plate.
Step 4 - Remove the bag from the bottom of the bundle of straws wiping off any excess. It is best to do this near the sink as it gets messy. Take a container and pinching your fingers together, squeeze out the jelly worms on the dirt until you get a gross mixture of worms.
