How to make no-bake toasted S'mores Parfaits!
In a medium/large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and milk.
Use an electric mixer on medium speed and beat for 2 minutes.
Place in fridge for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, crush graham crackers and break pieces to top parfaits with a rolling pin.
Break or cut pieces of Hershey’s bar, if using.
Put cups together:
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of chocolate pudding into the bottom of a cup.
Add a layer of graham crackers, about 3 tablespoons.
Scoop another 3 tablespoons of chocolate pudding on the graham crackers.
Add about ¼ cups of whipped topping.
Top with a ¼ cup of mini marshmallows.
Toast the marshmallows with a kitchen torch. This is optional but a fun touch but just be careful using the kitchen torch. If you are using plastic cups, be extra careful not to burn marshmallows near the rim of the cup.

Can I make s'mores parfaits ahead of time?
Yes, you can make s'mores parfaits ahead of time. However, it's best to assemble them closer to the time of serving to maintain the desired texture of the ingredients. You can prepare the individual components in advance and assemble the parfaits just before serving.
Can I use different flavors of chocolate in s'mores parfaits?
Absolutely! While the traditional s'mores flavor includes milk chocolate, you can experiment with different types of chocolate to suit your preferences. Dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even flavored chocolates like caramel or mint can add unique twists to your s'mores parfaits.
Can I make s'mores parfaits in a larger serving dish instead of individual glasses?
Absolutely! While individual glasses or dessert dishes are commonly used to showcase the layers of the parfait, you can also assemble the dessert in a larger serving dish or trifle bowl. The layering effect will still be visually appealing and equally delicious.
