Who said you can’t enjoy sweets during Halloween and still stick to your healthy eating lifestyle? Enjoy these healthy Halloween treats with this Candy Corn Fruit Parfait.
For those of us who are trying hard to watch what we eat and who still want a sweet treat, these candy corn fruit parfaits are the perfect answer! There is no need to sacrifice some deliciousness!! Even better using fruits and a small bit of whip you are getting your fix without all that heavy sugar! It’s a total win!
If you have fresh fruit in season then that is a great choice! If you don’t, then I love to use Dole Canned fruits in 100% fruit juice. This treat is simply about layering the fruits in candy corn colors!
I picked up these awesome stemless martini glasses at World Market that are essentially a candy corn shape upside down! I thought they’d be perfect for these parfaits however you can use any clear glass or plastic container for these!
UPDATE: The exact glasses I used are no longer available but I linked very similar ones above!

How to Make Candy Corn Fruit Parfaits
Time needed: 5 minutes
Create a delicious treat that is masquerading as a classic Halloween candy! Use whipped cream or yogurt and your favorite yellow and orange fruits! Fresh or canned both work great!
- Get a bowl
I found these great triangle-shaped, stemless, martini glasses at World Market, they are linked above.
- Add Whipped Cream or Yogurt
Add some whipped cream or yogurt to the bottom portion of the glass. Add a bit more than you think as the fruit will weigh it down a bit.
- Add Orange Layer
I used canned mandarin oranges. You can use fresh mandarins, regular oranges, or canteloupe.
- Add Yellow Layer
I used canned pineapple. You can use canned, fresh, or yellow watermelon.
There you have it. A super fun candy corn parfait in minutes! These would be perfect for Halloween Party treats or Classroom Parties! You could also use regular oranges and bananas. Any fruit that is orange or yellow!
