Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vanilla pudding prepared or homemade
  • 1 cup crushed sugar cookies about 8-10 cookies crushed finely
  • 1 cup candy corn for decoration and layering, plus color

Equipment

  • Clear dessert glasses or cups
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Spoon a layer of vanilla pudding into the bottom of each clear glass, creating a smooth, even layer that reaches about one-third of the way up.
  2. Add a generous spoonful of crushed cookies on top of the pudding layer, spreading gently to create a crunchy middle layer that adds texture and flavor.
  3. Sprinkle a small handful of colorful candy corn over the cookie layer, ensuring some pieces are visible on the surface for visual appeal.
  4. Repeat the layering process: add another layer of vanilla pudding, followed by crushed cookies, and topped with more candy corn, until the glasses are filled and visually appealing.
  5. Finish with a final decorative layer of candy corn on the top to maximize color and festive flair.
  6. Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes if you want to serve them chilled, or serve immediately for a fun, handheld treat with contrasting textures and vibrant colors.

Notes

Feel free to customize the layers by adding mini marshmallows or changing the candy to different Halloween-themed treats. For a dairy-free version, use almond or coconut milk-based pudding.
