3 ounces lemon instant pudding
4 cups water
8 ounces blackberries
gummy worms
8 ounces cool whip

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose firm, plump worms: Avoid worms that are slimy or shrunken, as these may be old or diseased.
  • Clean the worms thoroughly: Rinse the worms under cold water and then soak them in a vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) for 15 minutes. This will help to remove any dirt or parasites.
  • Blanch the worms: Bring a pot of water to a boil and then add the worms. Boil for 1-2 minutes, or until the worms are cooked through. Drain the worms and rinse them with cold water.
  • Chill the worms: Place the worms in a bowl and cover them with ice cubes. Let them chill for at least 30 minutes, or until they are completely cold.
  • Prepare the salad dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. If dressing is too thick, add a little bit of vinegar, mustard or pickle juice.
  • Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the chilled worms, chopped celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs. Pour the salad dressing over the mixture and toss to coat.
  • Chill the salad: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
