What You Need

1 pkg (85 g) Jell-O Wiggly Watermelon Jelly Powder

1/2 cup warm water

1-1/2 cups Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows

4 Mr. Christie's Chocolate Wafers, crushed (optional)

black shoestring licorice

Make It

SPRAY 8 or 9 inch square baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray. Spread on bottom and sides of pan with paper towel.

MIX jelly powder and warm water in medium microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1-1/2 minutes. Stir to dissolve completely.

ADD marshmallows and microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until marshmallows are puffed and almost melted. Stir mixture slowly until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is smooth. (Creamy layer will float to top.) Pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate 45 minute or until set. Loosen edges with knife. Cut into 16, 1/2 inch strips.

SNIP licorice into small pieces for eyes and attach to "Worms". Sprinkle cookie crumbs on a plate to resemble dirt. Place "Worms" on top of dirt.

Quick, easy and the kids thought it was so fun and tasty. We used raspberry jello instead of watermelon and didn't bother with the eyes and oreo "dirt" just for us but would be easy and make a great presentation.

These were FANTASTIC!! They are so easy to make and taste really great. Make sure you stir the marshmallows and jello slowly though, otherwise they won't turn out fluffy at the top. Go make them right now, they are delicious!

I never would have thought of this myself, but it turned out great. My kids were raving about these delectable little worms.

I will make this purely based on how appropriately slimey and gross it looks for Halloween! Way to go Kraft - you guys know what kids want, and what parents want to give them.
