Spooky Sweetness: Halloween Candy Corn Parfaits to Charm Your Guests

by

Holidays bring a chance to reinvent the classic. This year, I decided to ditch the usual pumpkin desserts and play with a childhood favorite—candy corn. But instead of just snacking, I layered it into creamy parfaits that look as festive as they taste.

Crafting these parfaits felt like rediscovering Halloween magic through a new lens. The crunch of the candy, the velvety yogurt, and the bright orange and yellow layers make every spoonful a cheerful surprise. It’s a little chaos in a glass, perfect for those who love to make their celebrations memorable.

These layered parfaits combine creamy yogurt with crunchy candy corn for a festive dessert. The dish features vibrant orange and yellow layers topped with chopped candy corn, creating a colorful and textured treat that’s both sweet and visually appealing.
