We made a fun Halloween Snack this afternoon that I thought I'd share. Max really enjoyed playing in the Jell-O... it was a good post-dinner adventure to dig in this Slimy Snack. I found the idea in Parenting Magazine...thought it was cute. I just used some Jell-O boxes that I had ( I would have chosen green and blue, or green and purple, to make it not look so Christmas-y), and I got the wormies at the dollar store (so this was dang cheap). The directions are below if you're interested...
SLiMy sNaCKs1. Prepare a package of lime or apple Jell-O as directed and divide among 8 oz mason jars or clear bowls (I used those little clear dinner cups they have at parties). Fill halfway, refrigerate them until firm.
2. Prepare another Jeoo-O flavor, such as cherry, berry-blue, or grape. While Jell-O is cooking, place three gummy worms on top of set gelatin and let another hang over the lip. Pour second flavor over the worms, filling to the top. refrigerate.
Max LOVED that there were wormies hiding in the Jell-O and had fun digging him out! PS, I only had a dollar store's supply of worms, so I only put one in the Jell-O and one on the lip...they get hard in the fridge, so they don't really taste that well. Do what you want. :)
Happy Autumn...and Halloween!
