Serve up a plate of these squishy-dishy worms for a very special and unusual treat. You will enjoy seeing how your friends, family and other loved ones react.

Be sure to ask a real adult who is not terrified of worms (are there any?) and similar creatures to help you with this unique recipe.

• 2/3 cup of juice
• unflavored gelatin
• square cake pan
• mixing spoon
• drinking straws
• cutting board
• rolling pin

1. Ask your helpful adult assistant to boil the juice.
2. Pour one packet of unflavored gelatin into the cake pan.
3. Ask your adult assistant to carefully pour the boiling water into the pan.
4. Gently stir until the gelatin has dissolved.
5. When the mixture has cooled a little, sink the straws into the mixture so that they fill up with the gelatin. (If the straws float, put some jars on top of them.)
6. Refrigerate until firm (approximately 4 hours).
7. Place the chilled straws on a cutting board.
8. Use the rolling pin to gently push and squish the worms out of the straws.
9. Heap your worms on a plate and serve!
