Gelatin worm recipe
Ingredients:
- gelatin plates – 8 pcs.;
- dark grape juice – 300 ml.
Preparation
To make homemade worms from gelatin, we will need plastic straws with a corrugated bend. We stretch all the folds. We also select a tall glass with straight sides. The length of our worms will depend on the height of the glass.
And now let's proceed directly to the preparation. First, soak the gelatin plates in cold water, then squeeze them out, fill them with warm water and stir. Cool the resulting mass and fill the glass halfway with it. We lower the tubes into it with the corrugated edge down.
We try to keep the glass tightly filled with straws. Then pour the remaining jelly mass onto the tubes on top. Place the glass in the refrigerator overnight. After this, remove the tubes, rinse each one under warm water and carefully squeeze out the “worms” onto a flat dish. They should be stored in the refrigerator until served.
Gummy worms
Ingredients:
- jelly in pink or purple bags;
- warm boiled water.
Preparation
We dilute it with warm boiled water, but take 2 times less water than indicated in the cooking instructions, so that the jelly hardens well and you get worms. Cool the jelly mixture slightly. Straws for cocktails 
lower into a tall pan with flat sides. This could be a tall glass, or a juice box with the top cut off. We install the tubes tightly into the container, but make sure that they do not become deformed.
Pour the jelly mixture on top and place the container in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours. After this, when the gelatinous mass hardens, remove the tubes from the container, place them under a stream of warm water and squeeze the worms out of the tubes. We transfer them to a dish covered with cling film and put them in the refrigerator for another 2 hours. Before serving, you can dust them with chocolate powder - this will create an earthy effect. Your success is guaranteed - the unusual dessert “jelly worms” is ready!
Children love curly marmalade: gummy bears, animal figurines, etc. Girls prefer assorted berry marmalades; boys prefer funny marmalade in the form of cars, snakes and even spiders. One of the most popular types of figured marmalade - gummy worms.
Let's go to a confectionery factory and see how this delicacy is made.
For the manufacture of curly marmalade Printed boards are used - large sheets with figured stamps. Stamp - a machine makes impressions of worms on sheets of cornstarch. At the same time, a mixture of gelatin, sugar, corn syrup, coloring and flavoring is boiling in a digester. The ingredients are cooked at 115 degrees Celsius. The mixture is then poured into worm-shaped starch molds, after which the molds are sent to a cold room. After 12-15 hours, the candies will cool down and become hard. After this, the marmalade worms are shaken out of the starch molds, and the starch is reused to make the next batch of curly marmalade . At the next stage, the worms pass through a cleaner, where the remaining starch is blown off them, the gummies are coated with mineral oil in a rotating drum, which gives them shine. Before packaging, factory workers separate the sticky candies.

Ingredients needed to make a worm:
2 packets (3 ounces) Raspberry jelly
1 package unflavored gelatin (high hardness)
3/4 cup whipped cream
3 cups boiling water
15 drops green food coloring
100 pieces of flexible straws (or enough to fill your container)
Tall container (1 liter or 1 liter milk carton)
Preparation procedure for making a worm:
1) Pour gelatin into a bowl and add boiling water.
2) Let the mixture cool until lukewarm, then add the whipped cream and 15 drops of green food coloring.
3) Gather your straws (remember to bend them) and place them in a container. It is important that the straws have a tight fit so that the jelly will fall into the straw. For this reason, a quart juice box may be a better option. You will be able to make longer worms as you will have the required stiffness and height. If you have a large container, secure the straws with a rubber band. Or you can simply add more straws to fill the container, which will result in more worms being made.
4) Add the gelatin mixture to the container filled with straws and leave it alone until the jelly hardens.
5) There are several ways you can remove worms from straw. You can roll the straws like a rolling pin and the worms will slide out, or you can place the straws in warm water. The worms that are made will also slip out.
