Peanut butter and jelly never fails to dazzle me. Your chia parfait looks beautiful and SO delicious and sweet. I love how the layers just stack so perfectly! Whenever I try to make layered-treats like this, they always end up mixing together and making a big messy and ugly-looking mixture of foods! LOL! At least taste isn’t sacrificed!
Hi Cassie, thank you! Peanut butter and Jelly is the best, isn’t it? When making layers I like to gently spoon them into a cup. I also make sure that the bottom layer is thicker than the top layers so it doesn’t mix all together!
