These candy corn Jell-O fruit cups are a sweet, easy snack that’s perfect for fall and Halloween. Keep reading for the full recipe!
Fall is my favorite season. I love the cooler weather, the changing leaves, cozying up at home with soup and a thick sweater, and making all my favorite seasonal treats.
I absolutely adore making these Jell-O fruit cups. They’re cute, simple to make, and kids always love them. I’ve made them for after-school snacks, classroom Halloween parties, and play dates—kids always ask for more. The layered colors are festive and fun for fall gatherings.
They’re made with just a few ingredients: lemon Jell-O and orange fruit (fresh or canned), plus whipped topping. You can make them ahead of time to save effort—just wait to add the whipped topping. These are nut-free, so they’re a good option for classroom treats (just double-check for milk allergies).
How to make candy corn Jell-O fruit cups
Ingredients:
– 1 package lemon Jell-O
– 2 cups orange-colored fruit (mandarins, peaches, or similar). If using canned fruit, drain well. Fresh fruit works too.
– Whipped topping
Steps:
1. Pour prepared lemon Jell-O into the bottom third of a clear cup.
2. Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 3–4 hours.
3. Once the Jell-O is firm, add the orange fruit on top.
4. Add whipped topping right before serving.
Tips for classes or large groups:
– Use clear plastic cups for easy serving and cleanup.
– You can prep the Jell-O in the cups, or simply spoon a few scoops of set lemon Jell-O into cups and top with fruit. It may not be as neat, but it still looks cute.
– Don’t add the whipped topping until just before serving.
