Candy Corn Jell-O Salad

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 Jell-O salad using those candy corn colors.  I did my individual servings of Candy Corn 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.

I also have a great giveaway going on today with some detail’s about my recent trip to Montana.  Be sure to check it out and enter!
