Where to Find the Supplies
Although I have pictures of the items available on Amazon, you will probably be able to find them at your local grocery store. In my area, Fred Meyer (also known as Kroger) is my best bet for locating all of the ingredients in one place. I always purchase more than I think I’ll need. If I have leftover ingredients, I make the mini pumpkin pies for my family.
Ingredients for Each Mini Pumpkin Pie
1 tablespoon Libby’s Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix (spices already added)
1 Keebler mini graham cracker pie crust
1 squirt of whipped cream
Additional Supplies
Napkins or paper towels
Plastic spoons
Instructions for Each Mini Pumpkin Pie
Give each child a plastic spoon and a napkin or paper towel (or two). Distribute one pudding cup to each child and have them remove the plastic or foil covering. (If the child wants to eat a bite of the pudding, that’s okay. There will be more room for stirring in the mini pumpkin pie filling.) Have an adult drop a tablespoon of Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix into each pudding cup. Have kids stir the pumpkin pie mix into their pudding. Give each child one mini graham cracker pie crust. Keep each crust in its foil dish. Have each child spoon their pumpkin pie mixture into their crust. They can smooth and spread the mix with their spoon until they like the looks of it. Have an adult walk around and give each child a squirt of whipped cream. Have the kids eat and enjoy their mini pumpkin pie!

Notes
Can You Believe How Easy These Are to Make?
How easy is that? Although the instructions I gave are designed for a class party, there are many other situations these mini pumpkin pies might work well for. Any type of harvest party at church would be a great place for these pies. You could have a mini pie making station. These pies would also be fun to make at fall birthday parties. Each child could have their picture taken with their creation.
Reduced Sugar Variation
For a reduced sugar variation of this recipe, you could use sugar-free pudding cups.
Adding Decorative Touches
Chocolate sprinkles or colored sprinkles would be fun to add on top of the whipped cream. Drizzles of chocolate syrup or caramel sauce would be excellent additions as well.
Chocolate chips or a maraschino cherry would be great on top. You can probably think of many more ideas for toppings!
