Jack O’ Lantern Yogurt Granola Parfaits By Kelly Miller • September24,2015 • Updated September 14, 2021 • Leave a Comment 531 Jump to Recipe Jack O Lantern Parfaits layered with orange yogurt and chocolate chip granola, and decorated to look like a Halloween Jack O’ Lantern – the perfect snack or breakfast to celebrate with your critters! I literally can’t even begin to tell you how excited these boys are for Halloween. Don’t believe me? Here’s a picture from yesterday morning: Why yes, we do already have Halloween costumes, just in case you were wondering. I figured out a few years ago that it pays to get them earlier because you have a better selection and the kids get a chance to play dress-up more. As if it were any question, they chose to be their favorite superheroes: Iron Man and Thor. Well actually, as far as Wesley is concerned, Thor is his favorite only because he carries a hammer. When we ask him what’s his favorite Avenger he can never make up his mind – but when we were looking in Walmart, it was the hammer that sealed that decision for him! I’m not going to lie, we are all HUGE Marvel fans in this house and our whole family is insanely excited for the October 2nd Blu Ray/DVD release of MARVEL’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron. We don’t get a chance to hit the movies, really ever anymore, so we usually rent what we want to see and then buy the Blu Ray when it comes out. Let’s just say we CAN’T WAIT for this one! These adorable Jack O Lantern Yogurt Parfaits are the perfect way to celebrate Halloween with your kiddos! I like that it’s not sugar laden with candy, and you can control the ingredients according to what your kids prefer. Any orange-colored yogurt will do, I was able to find orange creamsicle store brand yogurt at Walmart, but grab what you can find. The cups are VERY easy to create, just cut out shapes for your kids and give them tape and let them make their own “Jack O’ Lantern” – Wesley absolutely had a blast helping me with these and it was a good preschool lesson on shapes as well! I have to admit, these tasted as good as they looked! Keep them the basic parfait with yogurt and granola, or go ALL OUT and add in MARVEL diced red grapes and string cheese! I set up a parfait mix-ins station and let my kids add in what they wanted. Silas wanted just the yogurt and granola. Wesley? Well, take a look… Of course he wanted ALL of the mix-ins… no surprise there! We had a lot of fun putting these parfaits together as a family. I’m planning on surprising the boys with a batch of these for a special MARVEL’S The Avengers: Age of Ultron Halloween watch party! I just can’t get enough of these adorable MARVEL snack options available at Walmart – not only did the boys go crazy for the granola bars, but they LOVED seeing their favorite MARVEL Avengers characters on string cheese 12 packs and also red grapes – their favorite (and mine, too)! Jack O Lantern Parfaits This easy snack is layered with orange yogurt and chocolate chip granola, and decorated to look like a Halloween Jack O' Lantern - the perfect snack or breakfast to celebrate with your critters!
