1 cup milk
2 cups thawed frozen whipped topping, divided
¼ tsp. orange gel food color

5 candy corn pieces

Directions

Cut 1 OREO Cookie into quarters; reserve 3 pieces for later use. Discard remaining quarter or save for snacking.

Beat pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in 1 cup whipped topping; set aside. Stir orange gel into remaining whipped topping.

Spread half of the pudding mixture into pumpkin shape on large serving board or platter; cover with half of the orange whipped topping. Gently press 1 NUTTER BUTTER Cookie into whipped topping for the pumpkin's stem. Add candy corn pieces and OREO Cookie quarters to resemble a jack-o'-lantern.

Spread remaining pudding mixture into second pumpkin shape on serving board; cover with remaining orange whipped topping. Insert 1 graham quarter into top for the stem. Decorate with sprinkles.

Place cookies around dips on board. Add small bowl filled with SOUR PATCH KIDS Candies. Fill empty spaces on board with apples, grapes and pretzels.

This dessert board can be prepared for a variety of servings, depending on the size of your gathering. Use a guideline of 2 Tbsp. dip and 2 cookies or 8 graham rectangles plus 1/2 oz. candy for each serving.

Recipe Tips

Food Coloring Tips
To make the pumpkins different shades of orange as shown in photo, stir a small amount of additional orange gel food color into the orange-tinted whipped topping before spreading it over the pudding mixture.
It's Easy to Make Half
If serving a smaller group, use just half of the pudding mixture and whipped topping to make 1 pumpkin shape for the dessert board. Refrigerate remaining pudding mixture and whipped topping up to 3 days before serving as a snack or another use.
Note
If you don't have orange food coloring, you can instead tint the whipped topping with red and yellow gel food colorings. Use a 2 to 1 ratio of yellow and red food colorings to get the 1/4 tsp. orange food coloring needed to prepare this recipe.
