These mini parfaits would be such a fun dessert for a Valentine’s party.  The secret ingedient is powdered smarties in the yogurt.  Yummy!  Thanks to Rachel at Bubbly Nature Creations for the recipe!

Here’s what you need to make these:

• 7 rolls of Smarties Love Hearts
• 1 cup Vanilla Yogurt (sweetened)
• whipped cream in the can
• red or pink food coloring
• 8-10 plastic “shooters” which I found at Party City
• 6 strawberries chopped
• coffee grinder
• hammer or mallet
• Ziploc bag
• piping bag/ coupler and any medium sized decorators tip (this is not necessary, but very helpful for filling the cups)
