Tips and Tricks

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.
