Homemade Gummy Worms aka coolest jigglers ever!

Last week we decided to try something fun that we saw on pinterest...
Homemade Gummy Worms
It sounded like an awesome idea, and although they turned out a little different than we expected at first, they were still super fun.  So, first you make a small box of jello with only 2/3 c of water.  (we doubled this, which was 2 packs with 1 1/3 c of water)  Then let the jello cool until just warm to the touch.  While waiting arrange straws in something that will hold them up.  Next poor the jello into the straws like so...
 Next you play the waiting game... we had to let our worms sit in the fridge over night for them to set up completely.  Then you get the worms out.  Pinterest says to just push them out with a rolling pin, but after some trial and error I found that it works better if you run the straw under warm water for just a second to loosen the jello and then use a rolling pin to push them out.
The rest is history!  My kids loved slurping the jello like noodles.
