Super easy and quick to make. This is something I whip up on the fly when company shows up at the door without warning. You'll love these little treats, and so will your guests!
Have you ever had one of those days where you are super de duper busy and being pulled in every direction? I know you have. We all have. Am I right?
You finally get home after a busy day and just as you go to slip on your jammies just in time for your favourite TV show (Supernatural- can you say Winchester boys rock my world) the doorbell rings.
You are now doing a check in your head!!
Did I clean today?
Did I do laundry today or is it piled up by the front door for some unknown reason?
Then the OMG do I have anything to feed people moment hits!!
Well folks this is a surefire way to please those unannounced naughty guests who should have called but did not. I mean seriously, who stops in on a weeknight when your favourite show is on anyway.
Have a plan of action in place for emergencies like this. You need to be prepared. Keep your pantry stocked with quick ingredients like graham crumbs, puddings, cookies, and things like that.
Set a code word set with hubby for moments like this. Try *winchester sandwich* as he'll never know what you mean anyway, then that will be his cue to take the rude visitors on a tour of some project you did 3 years ago and never finished.
You now have 5 minutes. This is what you make. And honestly, it seriously takes only 5 minutes.
You're welcome!

Notes
Now drop lots of hints about how tired you are before Supernatural starts. Or tell them you are coming down with the flu, that always works.

Great under pressure but give me time to prepare and I procrastinate. I love the ones that look hard but are not. They make you feel just a bit bad a**! lol
Kim Bee
Hey Christie,thanks. I had fun with this one. I need more jars, for some reason they keep disappearing. I think my old bowls are jealous and offing the poor things.
Kim Bee
Hi Michaela. Glad I made you giggle. This is a surefire way to make hubby happy. Happy hubbies way more productive. Mine is putting away Xmas decorations as I write this. See this is miracle banana cream pie.
Kim Bee
I have one I do in 5 minutes with cherry pie filling. You could use anything. They are fun and easy and look adorable. The possibilities are endless. Bummer you hate naners. They are so good for you. But I feel the same way about sweet potatoes so there ya go.
Kim Bee
Thank you. I like having some quick stuff on hand for things like this. Honestly you can whip up a quick dessert in minutes with just about anything.
Kim Bee
Lol I would welcome you with open arms and fun filled jars. Glad you like them.

I have a few drop by guests that the Flu makes them ask you questions. These look great, my kids would love them.
Kiri W.
Haha, yes, that's definitely happened to me. Not that I constantly have pudding on hand, but these look both tasty and so pretty! Great idea 🙂
P.S.: How's the Hawaiian coming? 😉
Kim Bee
Lol Sherry. Good thing I can spin a good yarn. Hope you try this out.
Kim Bee
I try to keep 2 on hand just in case as you just never know. I prefer whipping up no bake cheesecake but I didn't have cream cheese on hand. I think I finally figured out what I'm making. Now I just need to make it. Lol!
Kiri W.
I think I have cook ones in the pantry, but no ready made cups...
Oooh, intriguing? What is it going to be? 😉
