Peanut Butter Chocolate Parfaits

Got this from the Hungry Girl website, and it is totally yummy. I made them for my Book Group's annual Christmas party, and they were a big hit. Everyone asked for the recipe, so I'm posting it, and will send it out to them. Thanks, ladies, had a great time! P.S. I used regular PB rather than what is called for in the recipe. It adds 15 cal and 2g fat to each portion. Note that this recipe is for one portion - you'll need to get out your calculator to make for a party. Also, I order the VitaTops via the internet, but you can sometimes find them in specialty grocery stores. If you do want the Better 'n PB instead of the real stuff, you can get it at Whole Foods.
  • 1 Vitalicious Double Chocolate Dream VitaTop; room temperature
  • 1 tsp. Better ’n Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup Cool Whip Free
  • 1/4 100 Calorie Pack, Planters Peanut Butter Cookie Crisps; crushed

    Directions:
    In a bowl, whip Cool Whip and Better 'n PB until well mixed (use room temp PB for easier mixing). Set aside. Warm VitaTop for ten seconds in the microwave and break up into small pieces. In a martini glass or parfait cup, layer ingredients like this: 1/2 VitaTop pieces, 1⁄2 Cool Whip mixture, 1/2 VitaTop pieces, 1⁄2 Cool Whip mixture. Cover; chill at least 1 hour. Crumble cookie crisps over parfait before serving.

Serves 1.
