But if you happen to not like Candy Corn (let’s face it, it’s an acquired taste…), then do not worry! This jello recipe has all the good looks of the iconic Halloween candy corn, but none of the flavor!

Candy Corn is synonymous with Halloween. Whether you like the taste or not…So naturally, I took inspiration from it’s good looks to create my simple dessert.

You basically layer the Jello colors, then top it with whipped cream, Candy Corn and sprinkles. Easy or what?

I used lemon flavored Jello for the yellow layer, and peach favored Jello for the orange layer. But you could also substitute it with orange flavored Jello for the orange layer.

The whipped cream was also homemade: I simply added cold double cream to a bowl and whisked it until doubled in volume and it formed stiff peaks. Single cream won’t whip as good. But you could totally use cream from a squirt can too, no biggie!

Just be sure to add your cream layer just before serving, otherwise it will deflate.

This recipe can be made in a day. You just need a couple of hours for each layer to set. So you still have time to make it for your Halloween party! 

Halloween Candy Corn Jello Cups – Fun Recipe Variations

1) For a grown-up version, add a shot of vanilla Vodka in the Jello mixtures. 

2) For extra sweetness, add a couple of tablespoons of condensed milk to the Jello mixtures.

3) For a thicker texture, use vanilla Jello pudding instead of the whipped cream for the white layer.

4) For extra spookiness, add sugar eyes or jellied worms to the top instead of Candy Corn! 🎃
