As a food blogger, I love finding quirky twists on classic treats that surprise the palate. This Halloween, I turned candy corn into a layered parfait that’s as charming as it is unexpected. The crunch of candy corn paired with creamy vanilla and spooky sprinkles makes each spoonful a fun adventure.
What makes this recipe special is its playful chaos—layers of vibrant colors and textures that evoke childhood memories while fitting perfectly into modern spooky parties. It’s a visual feast, sure, but also a nostalgic trip back to glow-stick-lit candy aisles. Perfect for small gatherings or solo indulgence under a cozy blanket.
The best part? It’s surprisingly simple, leaving you more time for costume fussing than kitchen skullduggery. Plus, it’s customizable—swap in your favorite seasonal sweets or keep it straight-up candy corn magic. Halloween never looked so colorful and tasty!

Method
- Crush the candy corn into small pieces using your hands or a spoon—aim for chunky bits that will add texture without losing shape.

- Sprinkle a generous handful of crushed candy corn over the pudding layer, distributing evenly for a colorful, textured top.
- Add another layer of vanilla pudding over the candy corn, smoothing it gently with the back of a spoon so the layers stay distinct and neat.
- Sprinkle more crushed candy corn on top of this second pudding layer, covering completely to keep the vibrant look.
- Finish with a final layer of vanilla pudding, filling the glass to the top and creating a smooth, creamy surface.
- Sprinkle a handful of colorful sprinkles over the top layer for a festive, bejeweled appearance that makes the parfait inviting and fun.
- Gently press a few more crushed candy corn into the top for added texture and visual interest.
- Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to chill and allow flavors to meld.
