November is the month dedicated to giving thanks. Many times, families are so busy throughout the year that the holidays are the one opportunity they have to come together for a nice meal. Speaking of the holidays, I made this amazing bite-sized treat for the kids: Chocolate and Banana Cream Puffs and I’m sharing the recipe with all of you!

What new recipe will your family enjoy this Thanksgiving?
I am thankful for my mom’s cooking. There’s nothing like mom’s homemade recipes, right? And she goes all out for Turkey day with a delicious spread that can feed well over 20 family members. I brought the dessert – Chocolate and Banana Cream Puffs using Campbell’s sister brand: Pepperidge Farm.
It was not only simple to make, but perfectly sized for little (and big) fingers, and the plates returned completely wiped clean. I think it’s safe to say this delicious cream puffs dessert will fit in nicely at next year’s Thanksgiving meal.
Measurements with easy to follow printable directions can be found at the bottom of this post.
Thanksgiving Classics for the Kid’s Table:
Do you have picky eaters in your family? Ensure kids enjoy a tasty meal for the holiday and eat their vegetables with these fun spins on traditional favorites tailored to their specific tastes. Grab a kid-friendly recipe, like these Mini Green Bean Casseroles – inspired by Campbell’s The Wisest Kid.
And we all know a Thanksgiving feast takes time to create, so if the little tummies are grumbling, especially with all the enticing smells coming from the kitchen, these mini snacks can tide them over.

This sounds so good and I like that it’s made with REAL whip and not cool whip. My family is a huge banana fan so this would go over very well! Thanks for the share!

Your dessert looks sooooo yummy, I like using puff pastry for desserts. The flakiness makes it seem lighter. I also like that wisest kid. He’s a witty one!

I love the idea of individual desserts. Also, I didn’t realize that Campbell’s and Pepperidge Farms were kin.
