Even though many eat gummy worms year round, they are especially in demand at Halloween, since worms and bugs are a common ingredient in dishes served on that scary day. Wiggly Worm Fudge is quick and easy – just two ingredients plus worms, so everyone has time to make these treats that are perfect for a Halloween BOO-ffet or to put in Halloween party goody bags.

Older children who are comfortable using a microwave can easily make this fudge by themselves (make sure there is an adult nearby, however). Younger children will enjoy pressing a worm into each mound of fudge. If you have procrastinated making a good Halloween snack, this fudge is perfect – it can be made in about 15 minutes hands-on time.
