Candy Corn Pudding - Quick Halloween Treat!

[sweets4ever]

We had a few friends stop by for dinner tonight on just a moment's notice.  Since I didn't have a menu planned, I had to whip up a quick dessert.  We were getting the kiddos together in their Halloween costumes, so I thought this was appropriate, fun and ridiculously easy for me (always a bonus!).

I simply took plain vanilla instant pudding and mixed it with food coloring.  I used classic yellow food coloring gel for one layer.  I used neon orange food coloring gel, with just a couple drops of classic red to darken it a bit, in the other layer.

Mixed it thoroughly and then used freezer bags with the corners snipped as piping bags.  The top layer is Cool Whip (also piped)!

Randomly scattered some colored gum balls that were left over from baby.sweets4ever's birthday party and my dessert setting was complete!

Super cute and the idea of candy corn flavored pudding is gross!  (So the vanilla was a relief!)

Thanks!  And the latter part of your post actually made me laugh outloud!

Thank you, thank you and thank you!  You guys are too sweet.

And isn't it crazy that a plastic bag and a glass (Dollar Tree glasses we used at our wedding reception, btw!) can make something so simple look fancy?  I love it.

Gorgeous! Ooh, I think it would be really yummy (but less candy corn-ish) to have layers of crushed graham crackers or nilla wafers for some crunch.
