Perfect Parfaits

So...I don't know how it goes in your house but around here finding something to snack on is kind of hard. No one likes to do it and no one can ever think of anything to eat that isn't blatantly obvious. So... we've been on the hunt to make snacking more yummy, fun, and interesting. May I present the first idea I found (thanks to the ever helpful Pinterest) ....the Parfait. Yes, many many people have thought about this before me, the golden arches sells them like crazy, but it was quite an epiphany for me yesterday when my son, Phoenix, tearfully begged for something new. Here's what I came up with.
Perfect Parfaits 
1 32oz container vanilla yogurt
1 8oz.package frozen berry blend
 granola, coconut, or favorite dry cereal
5 Kerr freezer jam cups with lid (In the canning section at the grocery store)
Spoon about 1/3c. yogurt into the cup. Add a layer of  frozen berries (We got a cherry, blueberry, blackberry, strawberry mix) I sliced the strawberries so I could spread the wealth. Top with more yogurt. Lid it.Fridge It When ready, remove the lid and sprinkle your favorite toppings.
 I just have to say how nice it is to see those parfaits waiting there in the fridge for me. My kids love them as a snack, but they are so creamy and sweet I usually have mine for dessert.
