Candy Corn Parfait
If all the candy corn isn't doing it for you, try this look-alike parfait on for size. It's quick and easy and it won't give the kids as much of a sugar-high as a one-pound bag of the real thing.
- 3 boxes instant vanilla pudding (enough to make 12 ½-cup servings)
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring
- ¾ teaspoon yellow food coloring
- 1 9-ounce package plain chocolate wafers
- 6 cups milk
- Chocolate syrup to taste
- 1 8-ounce can mandarin oranges, drained
Combine pudding mix and milk in large bowl as directed on the package.
Refrigerate until firm.
Crush chocolate wafers into crumbs, using a food processor, or put the wafers into a zip-lock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Combine red and yellow food coloring in a small bowl.
Stir into pudding thoroughly, until pudding is orange.
Layer pudding with two layers of chocolate crumbs in a parfait cup or glass.
Top each layer of crumbs with chocolate syrup to taste before adding the next pudding layer.
Top each parfait with mandarin oranges and additional chocolate wafer crumbs.
