Step five

To make the worms, heat lemon Tootsie Rolls in the microwave, individually for 8-10 seconds. Split them in half and roll between your hands to form worm shapes. Make worm segments on the Tootsie Roll by rolling them back and forth against the serrated edge of a knife.

Step seven

To garnish, twist them around the necks of mini spoons or have them crawling out of the shot glasses, whatever you desire. They’re too cute and funny to bury them at the bottom of the glass!
