Recipe Tips

How to Make Smaller Parfaits
Substitute 16 (4-oz.) jars for the parfait glasses. Chop 12 cookies; cut remaining cookies into quarters instead of cutting them in half. Spoon all the pudding into jars; top with cookie mixture and chopped peaches. Cut reserved peach half into 8 slices, then cut each slice crosswise in half. Garnish each parfait with a quartered cookie and halved peach slice.
Substitute
Substitute 2 cans (15.25 oz. each) sliced peaches, drained and chopped, for the fresh peaches.
