4
cups
boiling water
24
Gummy worms
optional garnishes
think extra gummy worms, crushed chocolate for "dirt", plastic spiders
Instructions
Boil water
Spray the brain mold with baking spray or oil mister and use a paper towel to coat the crevices
Set the mold on a small baking tray
Dissolve one box of gelatin in 2⅓ cups boiling water and whisk until dissolved
Pour about one-third of the gelatin into the mold
Chill for 30 minutes or until just starting to set
Poke a few gummy worms into the gelatin
Pour another one-third of gelatin on top and add more worms
Chill again for 30 minutes
Repeat layering gelatin and worms until the mold is full
Refrigerate for 24 hours to fully set
To Serve
Prepare your serving platter and garnishes
Loosen the edges of the gelatin by gently pulling them away from the mold
Fill a large pan or bowl with hot water and set the mold in it for 20–30 seconds to loosen
Remove and dry the mold
Invert the platter on top, then flip everything over
Gently ease the gelatin out of the mold
If needed, repeat the warm-water step
Press halved gummy worms into cracks or on top for a creepy finish
Garnish the platter and serve with a spoon

Notes
Chilling overnight gives the best texture and shape. The longer it sets, the cleaner the unmold.
