Key Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make this easy Halloween dessert: Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Jello: Orange and Island Pineapple Jello are the perfect colors for replicating the pattern of candy corn, and they taste delicious together too! Feel free to use lemon instead of pineapple if you prefer. Whipped Cream: The white layer of the candy corn is easily made with a dollop of whipped cream. You can use canned whipped cream, homemade whipped cream, or whipped topping like Cool Whip. Candy Corn: As a fun garnish, add one or more pieces of candy corn to the top of each Jello Cup. Clear Cups: This recipe will make 8 layered jello cups in 5.5-ounce cups.
How To Make Candy Corn Jello Cups
Recipe Tips
I like to buy disposable plastic cups that come with lids, especially if I’m taking these jello cups to someone else’s house. The lids keep the jello fresh while it’s in the fridge for storage too. Buy the cups on amazon – you’ll get 100 of them, but I’m sure you’ll figure out more fun ways to fill them up! Five to six-ounce cups: In the photos here I’m using cups that are 5.5 ounces. This is a good size portion for kids or adults. You can use larger or smaller cups if you’d like to, just divide the Jello evenly among them. Glass dishes work too! If you don’t need to travel with your candy corn jello cups, you can make them in clear glass dessert dishes instead. Wait to add whipped cream until just before serving. It will melt if you try to add it too soon. Try other fun garnishes, like Halloween sprinkles or candy eyes. Try these for other Fall occasions. The colors of the season in Jello form are welcome at Thanksgiving or football parties too!
Storing Tips
You can store the jello cups, covered and in the fridge for up to 1 week. Again, wait to add the toppings until just before eating them.
