Ingredients Needed
Here’s what you need to make this easy candy corn dip:
Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
- White chocolate pudding mix gives the dip a sweet, smooth base. For a fun twist, you can also try using cheesecake flavor or French vanilla pudding mix.
- Milk: Helps to create the pudding base. Any milk will work, but whole milk makes it creamier.
- Whipped topping: Make sure to thaw it for a smooth and creamy consistency. Alternatively, use cold heavy whipping cream and whip it until soft peaks form.
- Orange food coloring: Adds a festive orange color to match the candy corn theme.
- Candy corn: Use some candy corn to decorate the top of the dip and add some extra texture and sweetness.
- Cookies, graham crackers, or fruit slices: These are great for dipping. Use your favorites!
How To Make Candy Corn Dessert Dip
Tip!
Chill the dip for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes the dip firmer, which is ideal for dipping cookies or fruit without it getting too runny.
Recipe Tips
- Thaw the whipped topping fully: Make sure it’s completely thawed for a smooth and creamy texture, or use freshly whipped heavy cream.
- Use gel food coloring: Gel food coloring works best because it doesn’t water down the dip like liquid food coloring can.
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet dip, reduce the amount of sugar or skip it altogether.
- Use a hand mixer for the pudding: It helps to make the pudding smooth and lump-free quickly.
- Make it ahead: You can prepare the dip a few hours in advance and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve. Only add the toppings right before serving (Candy corn and sprinkles).
- Serve with a variety of dippers: Besides cookies and fruit, try serving with pretzels for a salty-sweet combination.
What to Serve With Candy Corn Dip
This candy corn dip is a versatile treat that pairs wonderfully with a variety of dippers. Here are some creative ideas to elevate your dessert spread:

- Mini Pretzel Bites: The salty crunch of pretzels adds a fun twist. Dip them into the candy corn dip for a tasty sweet-and-salty combination.
- Pumpkin Spice Graham Crackers: Use flavored graham crackers like pumpkin spice or cinnamon for a seasonal touch that complements the dip.
- Chocolate-Covered Treats: Serve chocolate-covered strawberries or pretzel rods alongside the dip.
- Sugar Cookies: Soft and chewy sugar cookies are perfect for scooping up the dip.
- Mini Waffles or Pancakes: Cut mini waffles or pancakes into bite-sized pieces for a brunch-inspired option.
