Chicken Not-Pie
"If your kids are fans of April Fools' Day, they'll love digging into this surprise dessert version of a traditional comfort food. Our convincing potpie is easy to make and has a flaky pastry top crust, just like the classic dish. But while the real deal is filled with chicken and vegetables in savory sauce, ours features candy and fruit look-alikes in sweet, creamy pudding. It's the perfect unexpected treat for this most mischievous of holidays...."
