Portland bakeries offer a rich variety of classic and inventive pies, including marionberry specialties and miniature pie “cupcakes”.
Interestingly, Marie Callender's also offers a box of mini desserts that do not have a large-sized counterpart: the Salted Caramel Cream Mini Pies. These individually-portioned treats consist of chocolate cookie crusts filled with a creamy salted caramel custard, finished with whipped cream and chocolate- and caramel-flavored chips. They are similar to other Marie Callender's ready-to-thaw pies that are meant to be served cool, such as Chocolate Satin and Key Lime. Each box comes with two pies that are about three ounces each.
What's better than the familiar sight of a warm, homemade pumpkin pie as the Thanksgiving season rolls around? A bunch of adorable, bite-sized pumpkin pies, that's what. While a big slice of pie is both comforting and eye-catching, a miniature pie encapsulates all of the elements in a much more manageable portion. These tiny pumpkin pie bites are not only much cuter than their larger counterparts, but they're also easier to serve, and they're perfect for gifting or bringing to parties.
