Tips and tricks for making gummy worm jello cups
- The recipe makes eight ½ cup servings or about 3-4 big silicone cauldron cups. If you can find the smaller silicone cauldrons, you should be able to get around 6-8, depending on how full the cups are filled.
- Important note: allow the jello to cool slightly in the refrigerator before adding the gummy worms. The warm jello may melt the gummy worm portion inside the cauldron before cooling down.
- This recipe is made with green lime-flavored jello, but purple grape-flavored jello would also be fun for Halloween.
