My mother sent this to me a while back because she knows that I absolutely LOVE gummy worms: (Don't ask why, I don't know… something about the texture just makes me happy)

 

Gummi Worm Recipe
 
2 packages sugar−free Jell−O
2 packages plain gelatine
1 cup boiling water
If sour gummies are desired, add one packet of unsweetened Kool−aid in a flavor that goes well with your Jell−O flavor. The Kool−aid really makes them sour (but good). Stir all ingredients until dissolved. Pour the mixture onto a large dinner plate and refrigerate. It will set in about 20 minutes. You can either slice it into worms, or roll up the rubbery disk of gelatin and cut it every 1/4 inch with a large pair of scissors. You can also use tiny cutters to make little shapes.

Total Recipe: 50 Cal (0% from Fat, 100% from Protein, 0% from Carb); 12 g Protein; 0 g Tot Fat; 0 g Carb; 0 g Fiber; 5 mg Calcium; 0 mg Iron; 7 mg Sodium; 0 mg Cholesterol

 

P.S.  It's actually apparently 12 1/2 grams of protein Cool

Yeah, gelatin is a protein – who would have thought, right?  But it's not a complete protein (missing one of the essential amino acids) so it's not like you can eat gummy worms after your workouts and assume recovery is optimal.  From a little research I did, it looks like you'd need to add something like oatmeal (which is a slow carb but has protein) or nuts/legumes (which are fats but have protein).  Oatmeal, nuts, and legumes have the missing amino acid, thus making the whole snack a complete protein.
