Alligator Pie
As a Christmas gift, Jordan's teacher had the kids make calendars. Each month has a theme. April's theme is "Alligator Pie," complete with a song and a recipe.
So I couldn't resist doing this...
Alligator pie, Alligator pie...
If I don't get some...
I think I'm gonna die!
Give away the green grass,
Give away the sky,
But don't you give away my Alligator pie!
(Song by Dennis Lee)

Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla instant pudding mix (large size)
- Milk amount called for on box
- Green Food Coloring
- Cool Whip
- Graham Cracker Crust
- Chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and white chocolate chips for decoration (or similar items)
Instructions
- Pour milk and pudding mix into a large bowl. Whisk for 2 minutes. Stir in a few drops of green food coloring and a large spoonful of Cool Whip.
- Pour into a graham cracker crust (homemade or store bought). Chill or freeze, depending on what kind of pie you feel like.
- When you are ready to serve, gather your decorations and remove pie from fridge/freezer. (If frozen, you will need to let it thaw a few minutes before the decorations will stick.) Slice and decorate with chocolate chip eyes, peanut butter chip nostrils, and white chocolate chip teeth.
- Eat the alligator before he eats you!

How fun! I had never heard of 'Alligator Pie' until our son was born. It was one of my husband's favorite songs from his childhood. Thanks for sharing at Scrumptious Sunday!
That is the cutest thing ever! What little kid wouldn't like alligator pie? SO cute! I'll have to remember to eat him before he eats me! ;) You might be interested in my link party here: http://bubblynaturecreations.com/2012/04/duct-tape-belt-and-project-party-weekend.html
I hope you can come. I am planning to round up some fun activities for kids on Monday! Have a great weekend. xoxo- Rachel
Thanks for linking this up! I will be featuring it tomorrow on the blog! xoxo- Rachel
I just realized that I forgot to feature this for today!!! I am SOOO sorry... I have decided to make this myself and feature it on my blog this Friday (I am thinking a pink alligator might be cute)- I will of course be linking back to you so everyone can follow your tutorial! Thanks again for linking up!
I made this tonight with a few changes... Let's just say that I need to take some pie lessons from you... it was hilarious! I hope you like my post tomorrow! xoxo- Rachel :P
What a cute pie! I think I'll make one as my son is obsessed with alligators. He sleeps with one he made at Build a Bear years ago.

Thank you for your comment! Reading your comments is better than eating pie...and if you know me that's saying a lot. :)
