While the gelatin is cooling stretch out the straws and pack them bendy side down into a wide-mouth mason jar.

Add the cream to the cooled gelatin, stir well.

Wipe the straws clean of excess gelatin. 

Pinch the straws with your fingers or use a rolling pin to squeeze the worms out.  Store the worms in an airtight container the refrigerator for a few days.  Makes 1-2 cups of worms.
