Candy Corn Jello cups are a super easy and festive fall treat. Made with pineapple and orange jello, topped with whipped cream, they are to-die-for!
Oh my goodness, I love fall treats. At least once a week, you will find me in the kitchen making some kind of festive dessert.
A new favorite, these layered Candy Corn Jello Cups are super easy to make. They're made up of pineapple jello, orange jello, and cool whip.
Table of contents
Since Candy Corn is typically around for the entirety of fall, these treats can be considered Halloween Jello or Thanksgiving Jello. (Maybe even Christmas, if you ask Buddy the Elf.)
Plus, in my opinion, this tastes way better than actual candy corn!
Next time you're at the store pick up a few boxes of Jello and some cool whip and whip up these treats. (Pun intended.)

How to Make Layered Candy Corn Jello Cups
Ingredients
- Island Pineapple Jello
- Orange Jello
- Water
- Cool Whip
- Sprinkles (optional)
Other Items Needed
- Clear Dessert Cups
- Gallon Sized Ziploc Bag (optional)
Directions
Prepare pineapple Jello according to package directions.
- Prepare pineapple jello according to package directions and pour evenly into dessert cups. Refrigerate cups for at least 1 hour.
- Prepare orange jello according to package directions.
- Pour on top of the yellow layer. Again, refrigerate for at least two hours to allow Jello to set.

Pro Tips
To pipe the cool whip into a swirl, cut the corner off of a gallon-sized ziploc bag. Spoon cool whip into the bag and use it to swirl cool whip into each jello cup.
Add sprinkles for extra flair.
