CANDY CORN DESSERT CUPS
A few tricks to making perfect Candy Corn Halloween Dessert Cups:
1. To make each layer completely separated from the other, use evaporated milk. If you use a solid lemon jello, it will blend in with the orange jello.
2. Using just the right amount of water will ensure each layer is firm.
3. Package them up in smaller containers with lids and send them for lunches!
