Extra Special Gummi Worms

 

2 small (0.3 oz) pkgs sugar-free Jello

3 envelopes unflavored gelatin

1 envelope unsweetened Kool-Aid mix

1 cup boiling spirits

 

Mix the boiling liquid with the dry ingredients and stir until completely dissolved. Pour mixture onto a dinner plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes (or until set). When cooled and completely set, peel the gel disc from the plate, roll up jelly-roll fashion, and slice into thin “snakes.” To make the alcohol-free version, just use water instead of alcohol, and if you want them to be less sour, omit the unsweetened Kool-Aid.

 

Here are some tried-and-true flavor combinations:

 

Creamsicle: Orange Jello, orange Kool-Aid; vanilla vodka; a splash of vanilla extract.

Cherry Almond: Cherry Jello; cherry Kool-Aid; vodka; almond-flavored coffee syrup.

Margarita: Lime Jello; lime Kool-Aid; tequila.

Spiced Citrus: Orange/Lime Jello (1 ea.); orange Kool-Aid; Sourpuss (tangerine) liqueur; Captain Morgan spiced rum.

Berry Limon: Raspberry/Grape Jello (1 ea.); lemonade Kool-Aid; Bacardi Limon.

Really Scary Bats: Straight unflavored gelatin; Jagermeister; a couple drops of black food coloring. Cut into bat shapes with Halloween cookie cutters.
