These parfaits were a complete disaster. The cookies were soggy and the yogurt was sour. I definitely won't be making them again.

These parfaits were a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll add more yogurt next time.

I had some trouble finding almond milk at my local grocery store. I ended up using regular milk instead.

These parfaits were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.
