However, store-bought candies may contain harmful ingredients that are best avoided.

Culinary expert of TUT NOVOSTI, cook and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you how to prepare the same delicacy at home.

How to Make Gummy Worms

To prepare this treat you will need:

• 250 milliliters of juice;
• 70 grams of sugar;
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice;
• 15 grams of gelatin.

Gelatin should be poured with a small amount of cold juice and left to swell for 15 minutes.

Mix the remaining juice, sugar and lemon juice together and heat without bringing to a boil.

Add gelatin to the resulting mass and stir until completely dissolved, pour into molds. If you do not have special worm-shaped molds, you can use cocktail tubes.

The worms will harden to the desired consistency within 2-3 hours, after which all you have to do is take them out and enjoy the taste.
