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!

[…] 27. Candy corn Jello salad by Real Mom Kitchen […]
Candy corn treats have been very popular this year! I made a Candy Corn Breakfast Parfait and shared it as part of my Halloween week. This Candy Corn Jello Salad looks like a great desert option, and I am thinking would be neat made in a Jello mold.
