Spooky Worm Halloween Jello
Nothing says creepy like a Halloween dessert filled with spider and worm eggs. This simple Halloween Jello Treat is a disgustingly charming way to ring in the spirit of BOO!
The more menacing a Halloween Dessert looks, the more my kids love it!
Around here, I think of the grossest, most disturbing things, like a nest with thousands of tiny spiders hatching out of eggs, make a treat out of it, and win the mommy of the year award.
It’s twisted.
These Halloween Jello Treats are rated top-notch by my nine and seven year old this year.
After all, what kid doesn’t like Jello and gummy worms?
Large tapioca pearls make this repellent Worm and Spider Treat a real show-stopper.
Simply, soak the tapioca overnight as instructed on the package. Choose Halloween jello colors and prepare the jello according to the package instructions.
Placed gummy worms and spiders in the bottoms of small cups.
Spoon tapioca over the critters and pour the liquid jello over the top.
Refrigerate. Un-mold. Serve.
A jiggling worm and spider Halloween Jello treat that is both creepy and creative!
Tons of spooky fun for very little work.
In fact, this Halloween dessert is really more of a food craft, than a recipe. But who cares as long as the little goblins are enjoying it!
