Boston Creme Pie Minis

Since today is super bowl I wanted to make some tasty treats for the family. I was pressed with time so I went to one of my favorite Kraft website and found a recipe for some Boston Cream Pie Minis. This recipe calls for *gasp* boxed cake mix. I know I know many dont like to use it but when you have to get something ready pronto this is what I like to use. I was pleased with the end result and the family loved them as well.
