03 - Arrange jellyfish gummies at the center of a large serving tray. Attach gummy worms and candy belt strips as tentacles beneath each jellyfish body. Scatter decorative jellies, rock candy, and candy pearls around to simulate underwater scenery.
04 - Keep the platter chilled until serving to maintain optimal texture and presentation.
