It’s time to bring on the spooktacular fun of October with some creative Halloween recipes and Halloween party ideas. Last year I made some Boo-tiful Pudding Cups and cute little Pumpkin Crispies, and they were a big hit with the family and so simple to make.

Since I love the fun flavors and colors of JELL-O, I decided to use the orange and lemon varieties to put a festive Halloween twist on a classic family dessert. So here’s my Spooktacular Halloween JELL-O Dessert!

Spooktacular Halloween JELL-O Dessert

Make some orange and lemon JELL-O in 9″x13″ baking pans. When it’s set, cut it into squares. It won’t matter if they’re all exactly the same size.

cut jell-o into squares

Layer the JELL-O squares inside a mold, alternating colors as you fill it. Add in some gummy worms if desired.

layer JELL-O squares in mold

Then you’ll slowly pour in a mixture of condensed milk, unflavored gelatin and orange extract, and it will fill in the spaces around the JELL-O squares. Let that refrigerate overnight.

pour milk mixture into jell-o mold

The next day before serving, fold a few drops of green food coloring into a container of COOL WHIP and spoon into the center of the JELL-O mold. Add a few more gummy worms and decorations and you’re ready to serve!

It’s spooktacular!

Two kinds of gelatin and some chewy fruit snacks shaped like worms are just a few reasons to make this spooky—but yummy—Halloween dessert.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 3 oz pkg orange JELL-O
  • 2 3 oz pkg lemon JELL-O
  • 5 cups boiling water divided
  • ⅔ cups cold water divided
  • 2 cups ice cubes divided
  • 4 ¼ oz envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tsp. orange extract
  • 8 oz Cool Whip Whipped Topping
  • green food coloring
  • worm-shaped chewy fruit snacks

Instructions
 

  • Lightly coat two 13×9 glass baking pans with cooking spray. In separate bowl, add 2 cups boiling water to 2 packages orange JELL-O. Whisk until completely dissolved. Add 1 cup ice and 1/3 cup cold water. Stir until ice melts. Pour into one of the pans; refrigerate. Repeat with lemon JELL-O. Pour into other pan. Refrigerate both until set; 2-4 hours.
  • In medium bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water; let stand 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup boiling water. Add sweetened condensed milk and orange extract; mix well and let cool completely, stirring often.
  • Coat 6-cup gelatin mold with cooking spray. Cut JELL-O into squares.
  • Alternate colors and layer inside mold. Add a few worm-shaped chewy fruit snacks as desired.
  • Carefully pour milk mixture over JELL-O in mold. Cover: refrigerate overnight.
  • Before serving, let JELL-O mold sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Gently loosen edges of mold to help it release. Top with plate; invert mold and tap to release. Garnish.
  • To garnish, stir a few drops of green food coloring into COOL-WHIP and gently fold to blend in color. Spoon whipped topping into center of JELL-O mold, and decorate with a few worm-shaped chewy fruit snacks .

    This looks delicious! I’m a total sucker for all those jello and pudding creations – especially ones that involve gummy worms. Yum! – Katy

    This looks delicious and like so much fun! I miss having kids around to do this for and can’t wait for the grandkids to get here to start new traditions with them. This looks like a great one!

    What a great idea! Because its gluten free it would be perfect for a holiday bash for my kiddos.

      We were invited to a halloween party and I bet I would be the coolest mom there if I brought this.

    That is such a fun idea. I know two little boys that would LOVE it if I made them one of these.
