Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Parfait
Serves: 2
Happy Friday! We have finally reached the end of the week! I hope it was a good one for you! Now it’s time to relax and enjoy some time with your family and friends for one of the last few weekends of summer! As much as I am sad to see summer coming to an end, Fall is really my favorite time of year (minus the football madness that the BF puts me through! JK ;)) He has his annual football draft this Saturday night with his buddies, which to me means summer is officially over!
There is nothing I enjoy more than a nice crisp afternoon where you can throw on jeans and a comfy sweatshirt and go apple picking! Oh, I can’t even explain how excited that thought makes me! But before we finally close summer for good, I am going to share with you this sweet recipe that is light and very simple to make, yet hits all the right notes in flavor!
