I have been seeing candy corn inspired recipes everywhere lately and took that inspiration to do my own for Halloween dinner week.  So, I thought it would be fun to do a layer Candy Corn Jell-O salad using those candy corn colors.  

I did my individual servings of Jell-O salad in custard cups. However, you can always make it in a 9 x 9 baking dish too. Not only does the salad have the fun layers but it tastes delicious.  

It begins with some island pineapple flavored Jell-O with some crushed pineapple mixed in.  Next is a layer of orange Jell-O that you mix with some whipped cream to make a creamy orange layer.  Then it is all topped off with whipped cream.  So yummy and fruity – it could even pass for dessert.
