Ingredients - Cupcakes
- 2 1-oz. boxes chocolate pudding mix and required ingredients
- 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies
- Fresh mint leaves
- Half-pint mason jars
- Miniature wooden spoons (available at shoptomkat.com)
- Alphabet stamps (available at shoptomkat.com)
- Brown ink pad
Preparation
Prepare chocolate pudding as directed on package.
Place chocolate cookies in a large resealable bag and use a rolling pin or mallet to crush.
Pour a heaping tablespoon of crushed cookies into each jar.
Add a generous quarter-cup of chocolate pudding to each jar (enough to fill about halfway).
Repeat steps 3 and 4, and top with a final layer of crumbled cookies to create the appearance of dirt.
Poke a few sprigs of fresh mint leaves into the top of each parfait, creating a little "seedling."
Use alphabet stamps to stamp your guests' names or a word on each of the miniature wooden spoons, and present one with each parfait.
