Hi Everyone,
Today has been such a crazy day! I went to Home Depot on Saturday with my Husband and as he was looking around for lights for his garage, I decided to look at paint, just because I was bored. Next thing you know I bought a gallon of a light green paint and told my Husband it’s for the kitchen. I have a yellow kitchen and I am just so sick of the color that I thought we should change it up! Next thing I know at 6am, my Husband was painting away!! About 5 hours later it was done! I spent my day cleaning cupboards, counters, re-arranging and enjoying my green kitchen! It’s so much better than clam chowder yellow! See that’s what my Husband gets for taking me to Home Depot! Now I just need a new refrigerator I saw a really, really, really nice one by LG. I don’t know much about LG appliances but I do know this refrigerator has everything I want, plus it’s a pretty silver! My Husband better not take me to HD anymore!!
Today’s recipe is so simple, but cute, that I thought I should share it with you! This is my Candy Corn Vanilla Pudding Cups. I love candy corn! I don’t eat it much, but I think there just the cutest little candies!! There is something about the colors of yellow, orange and white together packaged up in a small sweet package that calls me.!
This recipe is so easy, so easy that anyone can make these little guys! All I did was use one package of Jello Sugar Free Instant Vanilla Pudding, added some food color and topped it with Cool Whip. How simple is that? I think this is a great little treat for kids or Husbands, and only comes in at just 100 calories, so it’s guilt-free too!
Oddly enough, my Husband with the major sweet tooth doesn’t like candy corn, but he did like the pudding! I decided to top the pudding with a candy corn and sprinkles to give it a little more pizzazz. I also decided for easy clean-up to put the pudding in little plastics cups. I think that makes it easier for kids, plus you can see through the cups! After all whats the point of making candy corn coloring if you can’t see it?

I know I am so not the best person when it comes to decorating or working with cream, but I don’t think I did to bad with these candy corn pudding cups. :) Sometimes simple is so nice!
Have a great day!
Toodles,

P.S. I like this scary photo. ohhhhhh! lol
I knew I like you, but this really seals the deal! I am a candy corn queen. My daughter and I call ourselves “cheap dates” because, if you give us a bag of candy corn and a good book (for me a cookbook will do!) we are happy as clams. I’m like you, I don’t eat it much because once I get started ……….. Love these cute pudding cups, you are so creative (and funny too!). I have a green kitchen and I love it, we are just two peas in a pod, even though I am old and you are just a spring chickadee!
I love these fun candy corn cups! Addictive and yet…no-guilt. What could be better!
I had to laugh about the kitchen. I would totally have done the same thing.
How fun is this Halloween treat! I adore candy corn. My brothers used to love me because I’d trade them their chocolate for candy corn.
1) These are ADORABLE
2) How exciting!! I bet it looks great
Oh I am food shopping tonight and I am adding this to my list of things to pick up!
Have to do this for Halloween!!
That’s actually such a great idea!! Love it!
so cute Jen
