"Braces-safe" Halloween Parfait
Ingredients
3 boxes instant vanilla pudding (enough to make 12 one-half cup servings)
1 teaspoon red food coloring
3/4 teaspoon yellow food coloring
1 package (9 ounces) plain chocolate wafers
6 cups milk
Chocolate syrup, to taste
1 can (8 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
Directions
Combine pudding mix and milk in large bowl as directed on the package. Refrigerate until firm. Crush chocolate wafers into crumbs, using a food processor or put the wafers into a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Combine red and yellow food coloring in a small bowl. Stir into pudding thoroughly, until pudding is orange. Layer pudding with two layers of chocolate crumbs in a parfait cup or glass. Top each layer of crumbs with chocolate syrup, to taste, before adding the next pudding layer. Top each parfait with mandarin oranges and additional chocolate wafer crumbs.
