Instructions
Combine both packages of pudding and milk in a large bowl. Make according to the package directions for pudding (not pie filing).
2 boxes Vanilla Instant Pudding and & Pie Filling Boxes, 6 cups cold milk
Divide pudding so 1/3 is in one bowl and 2/3 is in the other bowl.

Add five drops of food coloring to the bowl with 2/3 of the pudding, one drop at a time and stirring in between each drop. Stop adding drops once you reach your desired color.
Orange food coloring
Fill ten plastic cups 1/3 full with vanilla pudding. Then add about double that amount of the orange pudding on top of the yellow vanilla pudding so you have 1/3 yellow and 2/3 orange. Make sure to leave at least a little space on top for Cool Whip.
Top each cup with Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream.
8 oz Cool Whip
Decorate with candy corn, colored sugars, or any other edible decorations.
Candy corn, Orange and yellow colored sugars
Notes
Make the first two layers ahead of time then add the Cool Whip or whipped cream right before serving to keep it as a fresh as possible.Keep the decorations to just colored sugar and maybe one piece of candy corn if you pipe on the Cool Whip. Adding too many decorations will defeat the purpose of the pretty piped frosting.Store pudding cups in the fridge until ready to serve. These are best served chilled although they’d be fine for a couple of hours while serving at a party.Top extra pudding cups with plastic wrap and store in the fridge. I like to put them in muffin tins and put in the refrigerator so they don’t accidentally get knocked over.
