Storage
These parfaits are best enjoyed fresh. If needed, you can prepare them ahead by layering the pineapple and mandarin oranges in airtight cups and refrigerating for up to 24 hours. Add the whipped cream and candy corn just before serving to prevent the cream from deflating and the candy corn from becoming sticky or discolored. Do not freeze.

- Choose Ripe, Juicy Fruit: Select sweet pineapple chunks and tender mandarin oranges for the best flavor and texture.
- Layer Carefully: Place fruit gently to keep each layer distinct and colorful, mimicking the classic candy corn look.
- Whipped Cream Consistency: Use lightly whipped cream so it holds its shape but is still soft and creamy.
- Festive Presentation: Clear plastic cups are perfect for parties, while mason jars add a charming individual touch for family servings.
- Add Candy Corn Last: Place candy corn on top just before serving to keep it intact and visually appealing.
- Make-ahead Tip: Prepare fruit layers in advance, but add whipped cream and candy corn right before serving for freshness.
