I've never made parfaits before, but these were so easy to make and they turned out great! I'm definitely going to be making them again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my parfaits turned out terrible. They were watery and the flavors didn't blend well.

These parfaits were a waste of time. They were bland and boring. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I had high hopes for these parfaits, but I was disappointed. The orange flavor was overpowering and the chocolate and vanilla were lost.

These parfaits were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of parfaits, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The parfaits were really good. The orange flavor was subtle and the chocolate and vanilla were a nice balance.

These parfaits were easy to make and they turned out great! I used a chocolate graham cracker crust instead of a granola crust and they were still delicious.

These parfaits were a delightful treat! The combination of orange, vanilla, and chocolate was perfect, and the parfait was creamy and smooth. I loved the crunch of the granola and the tartness of the orange segments. I will definitely be making these
