Candy Corn Pudding Parfaits are not candy corn-flavored just candy corn-colored. A deliciously fun Halloween dessert and so easy to make!

CANDY CORN (COLORED) PUDDING PARFAITS

Wait! Before you click away - this does not taste like candy corn. It just looks like it! I know people either love or hate candy corn and feel very strongly about it. Ha! But this is really just a fun vanilla pudding recipe that you can whip up super quick and it makes a special treat. Nothing fancy or time-consuming about it. You could even put these in some clear plastic cups so you won't even have much washing up afterwards!

CAN I MAKE IT ALL FROM SCRATCH?

Firstly, instead of all pudding, you could use orange Jell-O for the bottom and lemon Jell-O or the top. I just don't really care for that combination of flavors but it could be done if your gang prefers Jell-O 🙂 And, if you don't like to use food dyes, then you can make your own. It will take more work, but it could be done. And yep, you can totally make your own homemade pudding and COOL WHIP or purchase your favorite substitutes.
