A couple weeks ago I announced that I am partnering up with Friskies & Petsmart this month and hosting a fabulous Grumpy Cat Pumpkin Carving Party for Halloween.
We are having so much fun prepping for our Pumpkin Carving Party where we will carve Grumpkins using the FREE downloadable Grumpy Cat Pumpkin carving stencil! (Find it at The Petsmart and Friskies Link here)
After you carve your pumpkin, upload and share your Grumpkin Pumpkin using hashtags #Grumpkin and #AndersRuff (Oh and make sure your post is set to public so that Friskies and PetSmart can see it)! Friskies is going to donate $500 to PetSmart Charities on behalf of the blogger whose audience uploads the most carved pumpkins! So don’t forget, use hashtags #AndersRuff and #Grumpkin!
The past couple weeks we have been sharing a new party idea to host your own Grumpkin Carving Party. Last week we showed adorable Chocolate Pumpkin Marshmallow Pops. The week before we showed our style of using the Grumpy Cat Pumpkin Stencil (we made a Cool Grumpy Cat Painted Pumpkin!).
Well, this week I came up with another super fun dessert to serve to our little ghosts and goblins. I think THESE will be a big hit with both the kids and adults! When your little guests are done carving their pumpkins, I am SURE they will be delighted to snack on these yummy Layered Candy Corn Jell-o Parfaits, which are super easy to make and resemble candy corn layered colors! I even loved adding the little spider to the side of the martini glass to “Halloween it up” even more!
These layered Candy Corn Jello Parfaits are SUPER easy and the kids can help!
Ingredients:
JELLO (3 oz each) – (lemon and orange)
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
4 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin
Directions:
1. Mix 1 cup condensed milk with 1 cup hot water. Set aside. Mix 2 envelopes Knox gelatin with 1 cup hot water; combine with milk mixture. Fill the bottoms of your martini glasses about 1″ high with this concoction.
2. Combine the Orange JELLO, 1 envelope Knox gelatin and 1-1/2 cups hot water. (I did 1 cup of boiling water, mixed until dissolved and added 1/2 cup of ice water).
Cool, then pour into each glass for middle layer. Fill about 1/3 of the way, making sure to leave room for the top yellow layer. Place in refrigerator until set.
3. Repeat step 2 with the Yellow Lemon JELLO.
4. Once they are completely set in the refrigerator, you can hot glue a toy spider to the stem of the glass and serve! The guests will love these!
5. Optional – Add a Printable Halloween Party Flag to the stem as well from our Halloween Printable Collections.
We served ours on white trays with a few scattered candy corns on the dish. I’m sure these won’t last long!
We LOVE Halloween and have loads of Halloween Inspiration over at Pinterest, too!
