These were a lot of work, but they were GREAT! My son had a Halloween- themed birthday party and they were a HUGE hit. We brought them around on a platter and the looks on people's faces were priceless!

I loved this recipe. I took it to my daughter's Halloween party, and it was well enjoyed. The kids says it tastes like jello with whipped cream.

A HUGE hit with the kids in the neighborhood. I made a batch this weekend to as a test for Halloween next month. They look so real no one really wanted to eat them. I used raspberry gelatin and my worms have a nice, realistic pinkish-brown color. I think it might be fun to make two batches and use grape gelatin for the second batch so there are some light and dark worms in the bowl. Thank you so much for the GROSSEST recipe EVER!!!!!

I found a fast and easy way to get the worms out of the straws using needle-nose pliers. First I tried squeezing the open end of the straw with the pliers but it was too slippery. Then I tried grabbing the straw with one nose of the pliers inside the straw and the other nose outside. That did the trick. With my new solid grip I was able to squeeze the worms out quickly and easily...they practically slid out! It should only take you a few seconds for each straw. The worms really complemented my Qwiggle Halloween Jello molds (I have the hand, brain and eyeballs). Check out Qwiggle Jello molds online, they look so real it's scary. I love my gruesome but tasty treats for Halloween!

Soooo gross! I love it! A friend and I made these for her Halloween party. If you do not THOROUGHLY cool them, they will be two-toned. Takes some time to make, but worth it. Very high "gross-out" factor! Thanx for shring!

I think I may have messed up the recipe, I didn't add the whipping cream. It tasted good but was tons of work. I probably won't make it again, nice idea though.

These were great - they looked very real! I wasn't crazy about the flavor, but I might try different flavors of jello next time and compensate with food coloring. The effect was more important anyway. I served the worms in a glass serving dish mixed with crushed chocolate graham crackers and crushed oreos for dirt. Awesome!

A lot of fun to make, they do look so real. Just a tip for the next person, make sure the flexible part of the straw is facing down in the carton. My son loved them.

This was a really easy recipe. To get all the "worms" out quickly, I put the ends of two straws between my teeth and pushed with my fingers. This made the process go by much quicker. Also, instead of laying them out separately to finish setting up, I piled them all in a bowl to set up together and this formed a brain. It was quite a hit!
