**Candy Corn Parfaits: Healthy and Sweet**
Halloween is all about those irresistible sweets, but who says they have to be loaded with sugar? These Candy Corn Parfaits are a healthier alternative that’s just as yummy. Let’s break it down:
**Pineapple Chunk Layer (Yellow):** First, add a layer of juicy pineapple chunks. The tropical flavor pairs perfectly with the citrusy mandarins, creating a sweet and tangy combo that’s hard to resist.
**Mandarin Orange Layer (Orange):** Next, add a base layer of Mandarin orange segments. They’re not just sweet; they also add a pop of color reminiscent of candy corn. You can use fresh or canned mandarins, depending on your preference.
**Sugar-Free Cool Whip (White):** For that creamy, dreamy layer, go with sugar-free Cool Whip. It’s light, fluffy, and satisfies your sweet tooth without the sugar overload. You can even make your own whipped cream if you’re feeling extra DIY-ish.
