🌽 Candy Corn Fruit Cups

Candy Corn Fruit Cups for kids: the whole recipe

Let's stack fruit in stripes, just like a piece of candy corn! This easy Halloween treat is for ages 5 to 9 (grades K–3rd), takes about 10 minutes and serves 2. Crumb, our tiny chef, reads every step aloud with a picture, so a child can follow along.

Ingredients

• 2 clementines
• ½ cup pineapple chunks
• ½ cup yogurt (or oat yogurt)
• 2 pieces of candy corn (optional)

Tools

Cups or glasses, A big spoon, Measuring cups.

Steps

1. Wash your hands with soap for twenty seconds.
2. Peel 2 clementines and pull them into segments.
3. Spoon ½ cup of pineapple chunks into the bottom of clear cups: the yellow stripe!
4. Put the clementine pieces on next: the orange stripe!
5. Spoon ½ cup of yogurt on last: the white tip!
6. Put 2 pieces of candy corn on top, one on each cup.
7. Hold it up: does it look like candy corn? Then dig in!

Safety notes

• Contains milk. Tap "Allergies?" on the Kitchen's front page and the swaps fill themselves in where there is one.
• Hard or chewy candy is a choking risk for little ones under 4: leave it off for them.
• Read the label on packets for allergies.

Kitchen science

Pineapple's yellow and a clementine's orange come from carotenoids, the same plant colours that make carrots orange.

Make it your own

• Use mango for the orange stripe.
• Try whipped cream for the white tip.
• Make it upside down: white at the bottom, yellow on top.
