Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams graham crackers crushed into fine crumbs
  • 3 cups milk whole or 2%
  • 1.5 pouches vanilla pudding mix instant style
  • 1 cup candy corn assorted colors and sizes
  • additional for layering and garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Parfaits glasses or clear jars
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Begin by crushing the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a zip-top bag and a rolling pin or with a food processor for quicker results.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla pudding mix until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Set out your parfait glasses or clear jars. Spoon a layer of crushed graham crackers into the bottom of each glass, creating a crunchy crust base.
  4. Top the graham cracker layer with a generous layer of the vanilla pudding, smoothing it out to fill the glass about halfway.
  5. Dot the pudding layer with colorful candy corn, arranging them so some peek above the surface for a vibrant look.
  6. Add another layer of crushed graham crackers on top of the candy corn, then finish with a final layer of pudding to fill the glass.
  7. Decorate the top with more candy corn, arranging them decoratively for a colorful, festive finish.
  8. Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving, allowing the layers to set and flavors to meld.

Notes

For a richer flavor, fold whipped cream into the pudding before layering. Adjust candy corn quantity for more vibrant decorations.
