Did you know you can make your own creepy crawlies at home with just a few simple ingredients? 🪱
This is a fun Halloween kitchen activity for kids and adults!
You’ll need:
✔️ 1/3 cup fruit juice
✔️ 2 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin
✔️ 1 Tbsp water
✔️ Up to 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup, optional
✔️ Gummy worm molds and a pipette/dropper
Instructions:
🪱 Place the molds on a cookie sheet so they’re easy to move to the refrigerator.
🪱 Heat 1/3 cup fruit juice and honey or maple syrup, if using, in a small saucepan.
🪱 Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
🪱 In a small bowl, combine the gelatin with 1 Tbsp water and stir until thickened.
🪱 Add the gelatin mixture to the warm juice and stir until completely dissolved.
🪱 Carefully use the dropper to fill your molds.
🪱 Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until set, then remove from the molds and enjoy!
Try different juices or mix a couple together to create your own flavors.
Safety note: Gummies can pose a choking risk for young children. Always consider your child’s age and ability to safely chew the texture, and supervise children while eating.
