Here is a simple recipe thats fun for the kids.

Chocolate Cream Pie - start with a pre-made graham cracker or chocolate graham cracker pie crust (available in the baking section of any grocery store), a pkg of Jello instant pudding, Cool Whip. Prepare Jello using pie filling recipe on box but put it into a sealable jar. Instead of mixing, use the shaker method and let the kids shake the heck out of it and pour it into the pie-crust. Chill and let the kids decorate the pie with the cool whip, multi-colored sprinkles or chocolate sprinkles. Enjoy.
