Want to make something fun for Halloween without worrying too much about fat and sugar content? Well, these healthy Candy Corn Bars are for you.

My kids love them and trust me – They are SO EASY to prepare. 2 ingredients: Jell-O and Yogurt. That’s right… nothing fancy or complicated. I applied the same technique as my Valentine’s Day Hearts.
I made 16 bars and they were gone in minutes. Even my husband was joining in the feeding frenzy. The great thing about these Candy Corn bars is that you can make them any color or flavor you want.
You can use molds, sheet pans, cookie cutters. The possibilities are endless. They have yogurt flavor with a Jell-O consistency. Nom Nom!
I am thinking of Thanksgiving, Hannukah and all the recipes I can come up with this Jell-O Yogurt technique. The white part on top was my 4 year old’s favorite part – it was just vanilla yogurt and some plain flavorless jell-O.
What I love about this recipe is that doesn’t take hours to set and it’s perfect for moms who get interrupted by their kids all the time. Tell me if you can relate to this. Imagine you are in the kitchen cooking dinner and you hear this ” Mom where are my shoes” “Mom!! I am hungry!” “Mom, Mom, Mom” – I guess that happens to me all day. Here’s my advice: make one layer, let it set up in the fridge and go look for the kid’s shoes. Make the second layer and go separate fighting kids..etc.

These are the ingredients needed to make these delicious Candy Corn Bars are:
– 12 Fat-free Vanilla yogurts, 6 oz each or 3 big tubs
– Lemon Jell-O, Orange Jell-O and 1 envelope of unflavored Gelatine (for the top part)
Directions:
– Line the bottom of an 8×8 square pan with Parchment paper and add with a little nonstick spray.
– Since the bottom part of the candy corn is yellow let’s start by mixing 3 yogurts and one box of lemonJell-O. In a saucepan dump the Jell-O and add the yogurt, stir over medium heat until the Jell-O is completely dissolved.
As you can see in the pics I didn’t wait until it was completely dissolved and that’s why the yellow part of my bars didn’t set up completely. It doesn’t take more than 5 minutes until it completely dissolves. The mixture doesn’t have to boil, just come together.

-Pour this mixture on the bottom of the mold and insert in the fridge for 20 minutes to set up (time to help the kids with homework, hubby find his socks, etc)
– For the second layer, since the orange part is bigger in the candy corn than most colors, I used 4 yogurts (24 oz) and one box of Orange Jell-O to make them. Just repeat the same step as the layer beforehand and pour it on top of the yellow layer.

Let it set up for about 20 minutes and make the last layer.
– For the white layer, I used 2 yogurts (12 oz) and 1 envelope of Unflavored Gelatin. Mix in a saucepan over medium heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour it on top of the second layer and let it set up for 20 minutes more!
See? easy and allows for interruptions!
Hope you can try them at home! Happy Halloween!
