·  Gummy worms
·  Cocoa powder (or hot chocolate mix)
·  Chocolate sprinkles
·  Clear plastic cups.
·  Make chocolate pudding and cool it in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Make an entire bowl of worms in "soil" (made like the cup o' worms but bigger)!

You will need per caterpillar

·  6 large marshmallows

·  2 liquorice straps (approx 30 cm long)

·  teaspoon

·  knife

·  chopping board

·  plate

Push 1 liquorice strap through the centre of a marshmallow (you may need to make a hole in the marshmallow first

using the handle of a teaspoon). Thread marshmallows on so that they touch each other. The last one only needs to be pushed

1/2 way through. Trim off any excess liquorice from the other end (this is the head end)

Cut the other strap as follows

10X2 cm legs

2x4 cm antenna

2x1 cm eyes

Make a hole for 2 legs in each marshmallow (one on each side). Push the legs in approx 1/3 of the length of the liquorice.

Add the antenna in the same way to the head. Make a hole for the eyes using the cut off threaded liquorice as a mouth. Push the liquorice all the way in.

These make great treats to accompany hot chocolate at campfires!
