Mini White Chocolate Pudding Pies (Bite-Sized Heaven!) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (4 ounce) white chocolate instant Jell-O pudding mix
    2 cups milk
    1 (8 ounce) package Cool Whip
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/4 cup 70% dark chocolate, chopped
    1/4 cup white chocolate chips
    1/4 cup whipping cream
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    6 tablespoons butter
Preparation
    Prepare the pudding mix according to box directions - use less milk for a thicker pudding. I used about 1 3/4 cup milk plus added 1 tsp vanilla. Mix all until it thickens, then place in fridge for later.
    Prepare ganache: In saucepan over medium to med-low heat, melt all chocolate with whipping cream, stirring constantly. After chocolate is fully melted you should have a smooth, shiny topping for your pudding. Place in fridge for later. TIP: I just used the white and dark chocolate because it is what I had on hand. Semi-sweet chips work the best, but you can use any combination of chocolates, adjusting cream if necessary.
    Prepare crust: Melt the butter in the microwave. Mix in with the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. You can always add more or less sugar to taste.
    I used a 24-cup mini muffin tin - pat the crust into the bottom and partially up the sides of each well. Bake at 300 degrees for 8 minutes, then cool.
    Place a large spoonful of white chocolate pudding in each mini crust (DON'T do this while crust is still hot!). Place a spoonful of ganache on top, and a spoonful of Cool Whip on top of that. I garnished with white chocolate chips.
    If there are leftovers, chill in fridge.
