Halftime Parfaits
“He scored, he scored!” The crowd went wild.
Fireworks went off. A cannon boomed. The stands shook like an earthquake rattling the earth.
Maree, M’Kenzee, and Landry were hugging and jumping up and down. Rhys and Davis were high-fiving every fan within arm’s reach. Janie Lyn was light-headed.
And she was exhausted. It had only been one half of one game, but she was completely and utterly worn out.
How many games were in a season? How did the players do it? How did their wives and girlfriends survive?

If you've made it to halftime, you deserve a treat!
These layered desserts are the perfect way to recharge for the second half 🏈
Leave them in the cooler until you're ready to eat, and the cool sweetness will taste like heaven...
Ingredients:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large boxes chocolate pudding, prepared per box instructions
- 16 ounces Cool Whip
- 1 package Oreo cookies, crushed (reserve a little to sprinkle on top of the parfaits at the end)
Directions:
- Mix cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar in mixer on medium speed for about three minutes (or until fully blended) to make the cream filling, set aside.
- Stir together the Cool Whip and the prepared pudding; place in refrigerator until lightly set.
- In plastic cups, glass bowls, or clear mugs, place a layer of crushed Oreos.
- Top the cookies with a layer of cream filling, using the back of a soup spoon to flatten the layer and spread evenly.
- Top the cream filling with a layer of pudding mixture. Again, use a spoon to spread the layer.
- Add another layer of cream filling.
- Sprinkle extra Oreo cookie crumble on each parfait cup. You can also add a gummy worm "in the dirt" or place a decoration or cupcake pick on top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for an hour.
- Serve cold.

These sweet treats are cool and rich and a big hit every time I make them!
Enjoy 🥰
With love and hugs,
