It looked simple - mix jelly, and some colouring, pour into straws, let set, separate and serve - but for me these things never are.
Closer inspection of the recipe shows that cream is added to the jelly mix. I can cope with this so proceeded and eventually put the filled straws into the fridge to set.
Something happened to my mix. It seems to have separated during the cooling and setting process leaving me with layers rather than a nice even mix.
This meant that my worm was a two-tone affair rather than the inspiring original.
Too late to quit now. So after what seemed like an extremely long time I finally extracted all of my worms from their nests. I found that the easiest though not quickest way was to simply grab the straw from the end and squeeze and slide down ts length. The worm dropped into my bucket.
Lets hope the Cubs are amazed (or even better, disgusted as they put their faces into this mess). Luckily I don't need to present this for a badge.
