Go Eat WORMS! - Brief Article

Ranger Rick, July, 2000

Anyone ever told you to go eat worms? Here are two YUMMY ways to try them!

Why couldn't Batman go fishing?

Because Robin ate all the worms.

YUMMY WORMS

1 tablespoon of honey

2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons of powdered milk

1 teaspoon of cocoa

Mix the honey and peanut butter in a coffee mug. Add the powdered milk and cocoa and stir until you can mix it with your hands. If it's too sticky, add more powdered milk. Shape the mixture into little worms. Use the back of a knife to mark the worms' rings. Serve the worms with a salad.

DIRT DESSERT

Put a clean plastic bag in a small flower pot and cut it so that it fits perfectly. Put some chocolate sandwich cookies or chocolate graham crackers in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Keep crushing more until you have enough to fill the pot. This will look like soil. Then mix in lots of Gummy Worms and put the mixture into the pot. Poke in a few more worms to make it look as if some of them are crawling out of the pot. Decorate your pot with a clean plastic flower or a flower you've made from cardboard. Gross out your friends by serving the "soil" and worms over a dish of ice cream.

How can you tell which end of a worm is its head?

Tickle it in the middle and see which end laughs.

Why do fish like to eat worms so much?

Who knows? They're just hooked on them.
