S’mores Parfaits are one of my favorite desserts when I want something fun without spending a lot or turning on the oven or building a campfire!
We used inexpensive ingredients like pudding mix, graham crackers, and marshmallows, pantry ingredients I usually already have on hand. Layered in cups or jars, they feel special and festive even though they’re incredibly easy and affordable to make.
