Candy Corn Pudding Cups

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!
