- Warm Coconut Milk: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, warm the coconut milk over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Notes
- For a creamier texture, reduce the amount of gelatin slightly.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the best creamy consistency.
- Make sure to use gluten-free cookies if you need to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- Gummy worms can be substituted with other candy or fresh berries for different variations.
- Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved by blending well to avoid graininess.
