Parfait Cups

These creamy yogurt parfait cups are layered with fresh fruit and homemade peanut butter granola. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert! The prettier the serving cups, the more elegant they look on your table.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use a Different Type of Cracker Instead of Honey Graham Crackers?

Yes! You can substitute the honey graham crackers with:
Digestive biscuits for a more neutral flavor
Salted crackers for a sweet-salty contrast
Oreo cookie wafers for a chocolatey variation

Can I Use a Different Type of Chocolate Instead of Chocolate Chips?

Absolutely! Try these options:
Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate bars (chopped)
Caramel-filled chocolate pieces for extra richness
Flavored chocolates like mint or orange-infused for a twist

Can I Make This Recipe Without the Cadbury Mini Eggs?

Yes! You can swap the Cadbury mini eggs with:
M&Ms or Reese’s Pieces
Crushed toffee bits or peanut butter cups
Seasonal candies like Easter jelly beans or Skittles

How Long Does the Toffee Need to Harden Before Serving?

Let it sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
If in a hurry, chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
Make sure the chocolate is fully set before breaking into pieces.

Can I Store This Toffee, and How Long Does It Stay Fresh?

Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Refrigerator: Keeps for two weeks, but may firm up more.
Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months, then thaw before serving.

Can I Use Dark Brown Sugar Instead of Light Brown Sugar?

Yes! Using dark brown sugar will create:
A richer, deeper caramel flavor due to extra molasses
A slightly darker color in the toffee
