Are Pie Bites the New Cupcake?

We love our cake. We love our pie. But when cupcakes gained in popularity, pie felt left out. Now pies have downsized into what’s being called pie bites – in chocolate, apple, cherry, and coconut cream varieties.  Granted, they’re more like three bites, but who’s counting.

Let the record show that we never met a dessert we didn’t like, so we’re not the best ones to judge. So, this one’s up to you Side Dishers: what do you think about this whole miniaturization of desserts? Fab or passing fad?
