This family loves Halloween. Sweets, treats, and spooky costumes along with the changing season make it such a fun time of year. We especially love coming up with easy Halloween recipes to spook anyone brave enough to come over. For these we played with a seasonal favorite, TruMoo Orange Scream milk. This is a sponsored post, but all thoughts and opinions shared here are my own.

Easy Halloween Recipes

Jell-O and Pudding Brain

Brains for dinner makes such a great table setting. This is actually super easy to make, just leave yourself enough time for the Jell-O to set in between.

Ingredients/Supplies

  • Jell-O Brain Mold and a small bowl to fit inside
  • Red Jell-O of your choice (2 small boxes or one larger)
  • 1 packet plain gelatin
  • 1 large box vanilla pudding (I prefer cook and serve, but instant would work too)
  • 1/2 gallon TruMoo Orange Scream Milk
  • Non stick spray

Instructions

  • Prepare Jell-O using package directions.
  • Prepare 1 packet plain gelatin and combine with Jell-O. (This is for added rigidity.)
  • Spray brain mold and outside of small bowl with non stick spray.
  • Pour Jell-O into mold. Place the small bowl into the liquid Jell-O to force it up the sides while leaving a hole in the center of the brain.

  • Refrigerate until firm.
  • While that’s cooling, prepare the pudding per package instructions substituting TruMoo Orange Scream milk for regular milk. Let cool.

  • Once Jell-O is firm and pudding is cooled, remove the small bowl and pour the pudding into the mold. Optional: pour additional Jell-O to cover and seal the pudding inside the brain.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • When ready, place a decorative bowl or serving dish upside-down on the mold and flip so that the Jell-O Brain falls into place on/in the dish.
  • Garnish with jam or strawberry syrup for blood.
