Candy Corn Jello Cups are festive, layered Halloween desserts with bright orange, yellow, and white stripes resembling the classic candy. Light, sweet, and fun to make, they’re perfect for parties and kid-friendly celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 1 box orange-flavored gelatin (3 oz)
  • 1 box lemon-flavored gelatin (3 oz)
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
  • Candy corn pieces (for garnish)
  • Water (as required by gelatin package instructions)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the orange gelatin according to package instructions. Pour evenly into 8 clear plastic cups as the first layer. Refrigerate until fully set (about 30–45 minutes).
  2. Once the orange layer is set, add a layer of whipped cream or whipped topping to create the white stripe.
  3. Prepare the lemon gelatin according to package instructions. Let it cool slightly, then carefully pour it over the whipped layer as the yellow top layer. Refrigerate until fully set (about 30–45 minutes).
  4. Repeat layers for taller cups if desired, letting each set before adding the next.
  5. Before serving, top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream and a candy corn piece for garnish.

Notes

  • Use pineapple gelatin for a flavor variation in place of lemon.
  • Whipped topping holds its shape better for make-ahead options.
  • Decorate with Halloween sprinkles or gummy worms for added fun.
  • Ensure each layer is fully set before adding the next to keep colors distinct.
  • Can be made in a trifle dish instead of individual cups.
