Are you ever just in the mood for something orange? When I saw this recipe I was and I had to make it. It is sweet and creamy with pops of mandarin oranges.

I was in the mood for something cute so I decided on candy corn themed treats. I have 2 easy ideas, and they are both treats from boxes, so they are super super simple.

The first one is a cupcake. I used a yellow cake mix divided it in 2 bowls and colored half yellow and half orange. The directions are below.

The second one is Jell-O. One box of lemon and one box of orange topped with whipped cream. The directions are below. Just another way to add some delicious, simple fun to your Halloween.

Candy Corn Cupcake

1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
3 Large Eggs
1/2 cup Butter, not Margarine
1 cup of Water

Yellow and Red Food Coloring

Yellow Cupcake Papers

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in the microwave. Put cake mix, eggs, butter, and water in a large bowl and mix on low for 1 minute and on high for 1 minute.

2. Put half of your batter in a separate bowl. Color half the batter yellow, approx. 50 drops, and half your batter orange, approx. 50 yellow drops and 8 red drops. Mix well. 

3. Fill 18 cupcake papers 1/4 full with yellow and 1/4 more with the orange batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

Candy Corn Jell-O

3 oz box Lemon Jell-O

3 oz box Orange Jell-O

Heavy Whipping Cream

Powdered Sugar

1. Prepare lemon Jell-O according to the fast set directions and divide between 5 glasses. Place in fridge for about and hour and a half. 

2. Once the yellow Jell-O has chilled prepare the orange Jell-O according to the fast set directions and pour on top the 5 glasses of set yellow Jell-O. Place in fridge for another hour and a half.

This is such a fun idea and it makes eating jello a little more flavorful. An excellent addition for a summer BBQ and its so fun to look at!

Glass Block Jello

4 - 3oz pkgs Jello, in assorted colors
2 packets Unflavored Gelatin
1 - 14oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk

1. Spray 4 small tupperware containers with cooking spray. Set aside.

2. Bring 5 cups of water to a boil. Combine 1 cup of boiling water with 1 package of Jello, stir until it dissolves. Place the Jello in one of the tupperware containers. Repeat with the remaining 3 packages of Jello. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set.

3. When the Jello is set, bring another 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil. While the water is heating, sprinkle both packets of gelatin over 1/2 cup of cold water. Let stand for 4 minutes. As soon as the water boils, pour it over the dissolved gelatin and stir until combined. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix well. Allow to come to room temperature.

4. Spray a 9×13 cake pan with non-stick spray. Cut the Jello into cubes and gently toss to combine in the cake pan. Pour the cooled mixture over the Jello.

5. Place the pan in the fridge and chill overnight. Cut into squares and serve.
