Instructions
- Prepare Puddings: Use milk to prepare and chill each box of pudding in a separate bowl according to package instructions, chilling until set.

Notes
- If you don’t have orange food coloring, combine four drops of red food coloring with five drops of yellow food coloring to create orange, adjusting based on the concentration of your food coloring.
- Use gel food coloring sparingly as it is more concentrated; add a little at a time and stir thoroughly before adding more.
- Reserve leftover vanilla pudding for another dessert or snack.
- This dessert is best served chilled and within 1-2 days for freshness.
