Ingredients

2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) JELL-O Pumpkin Spice Flavor Instant Pudding
2 cups cold milk
2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup flour
5 eggs
1/8 tsp. each red and yellow gel food coloring

Steps:

Heat oven to 425°F.
Beat pudding mixes and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in COOL WHIP. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Bring butter, water and sugar to boil in medium saucepan, stirring occasionally. Add flour; cook and stir 3 min. or until mixture forms ball. Spoon into large bowl.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating with mixer after each addition until well blended. Add food coloring; mix well. (If necessary, add more food coloring until dough is bright orange in color.)
Spoon dough into freezer-weight resealable plastic bag; cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag. Use to pipe dough into 24 (1-1/4-inch) mounds on baking sheet.
Bake 45 min., reducing oven temperature to 350ºF after 20 min. Turn oven off; open oven door slightly. Let cream puffs stand in oven 15 min. Remove from oven. Transfer to wire rack; cool completely.
Use serrated knife to cut cream puffs horizontally in half; gently remove tops. Spoon pudding mixture into bottom halves of cream puffs, adding about 2 Tbsp. to each. Replace tops.
