Is it just me, or is it crazy that it’s already August?! It seems like every year is going faster and faster. With it being back to school time, and Riley’s first year of preschool, I wanted to come up with some super easy yummy snacks for after school. With two main ingredients, Cool Whip and JELL-O Pudding, I made three that are scrumptious and that my daughter loves! With the versatility of these two ingredients, the possibilities really are endless!
Armed with my $1 off coupon (save $1 when you buy 1 tub of Cool Whip topping – any size – and 2 boxes of JELL-O Pudding Mix, any size – while supplies last), I made our way to our local Walmart store. Luckily I knew where both products were located, since we buy JELL-O and Cool Whip fairly often. Once I selected a few boxes of JELL-O and got a big tub of Cool Whip, it was off to home to create some yummies!
The first up is the Banana Pudding Mini Pie! Simply prepare your JELL-O Banana Cream Pudding, put a couple spoonfuls in a mini pie cup, top with a dollop of delicious Cool Whip, and add a slice or two of fresh banana – voila! A delicious mini banana cream pie!
Do you love chocolate pudding? How about cherry pie filling? I know I do! That’s why I came up with this Black Forest Mini Pie! Using JELL-O Chocolate Pudding, cherry pie filling, and topping it off with Cool Whip, you have an easy-peasy snack or dessert! This is the perfect size for me, and it’s small enough for any child to enjoy!
This third and final after school snack can be made two ways. You can either make it as a mini pie, or make it into a dip! This JELL-O OREO Cookies ‘n Creme Dip is delicious with Cool Whip! For a dip, just pudding some prepared JELL-O OREO Cookies ‘n Creme Pudding in a bowl and add a few dollopws of Cool Whip – you can serve it with chocolate or regular graham crackers. For a mini pie, put a couple spoonfuls of prepared pudding in a mini pie crust and top it with Cool Whip! How easy is that?
What were your favorite after school snacks as a kid?
I’m a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn’t change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!
Such cute ideas for snacks! Thank you so much! #client
I want those for me!! I could share with the kids, though, I suppose….

My boys would love snacks like these! I may have to treat them every now and then. I love pudding but don’t eat it nearly enough.
I like the banana pudding mini pie. I really, really like that it’s personal size. We end up throwing out so much if we make a full pie or cake.
Can you say… yummy?! That Oreo one looks like my favorite! Of course the cherries on the Black Forest one looks so good, too… and the banana cream?! It’s so hard to pick!
What a fun snack. I love that they are so easy to make. I think I would want some for myself.

Cool whip is a great snack enhancer! We love it on strawberries.

These all look delicious! I can use all the ideas I can for back to school treats.
Need to get me a printer and real soon and my kids would be loving seeing their Dad have this waiting for them when they got home from school. I know they all asked for snacks when they walked in the door last year
Cool Whip and Jello were made for each other.
These recipes looks so delicious. I love Banana Cream pie and would like to make the mini one. I think this is a fun recipe to make.
I cant wait to try these this week! Such a cool way to make coming home from school (Esp. the first week) special!
