Creeppyy

Saturday, October 29th we had our ward Halloween party. We were excited to go see all of our little nursery kids dressed in their costumes. We were in charge of bringing a dessert. Below is the recipe and steps to creating the perfect cReEpY, CrAWLy Halloween dessert. Enjoy! 

Here are the ingredients you will need:

     2 packs of raspberry jello (3oz.)                3/4 cups of whipping cream

     3 cups of boiling water                             15 drops of green food coloring

     100 flexible straws                                   Tall container to hold your straws tight

Combine jello and boiling water in a bowl.

Let it cool until it's lukewarm and add the whipping cream and green food coloring.

Gather your straws. Make sure you flex them all out. Then put them in your tall container and make sure it's a tight fit. If your container is too big you can tie a rubber band around the straws to make them tight.

Add jello mixture to straws and let it sit until firm. We put ours in the refrigerator so it would speed up the process.

In the meantime we made chocolate pudding (mud) and crushed oreos (dirt) in our Ninja blender. Spencer is pretty proud of our Ninja. I'm not going to lie, it has been a pretty awesome investment. We have been impressed with it for the 5 months we have owned it. 

A couple of hours later we got the straws out of the refrigerator. We tried a couple of ways of getting the "worms" out without crushing or tearing them. We found that the best way to get them out was to squeeze them out into the pre-made cups of mud and dirt.

Here they are on the table at the ward party!!! Aren't they kinda creepy? We kept one in the refrigerator for us and we ended up throwing it out yesterday because it was grossing us out. haha...Mission accomplished! : )

You'll have to try them next year! Thanks for following.
