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.

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.)

    1. It's never been a problem for me with the cups I used! If you're worried about it, it's probably a good idea to let the jello mixture cool a little bit before you pour it in.
