Strawberry Dark Chocolate Granola Parfait - Chopped Result

Okay, I said I was going to make pie.  But that didn't happen.

After a fail, a lack of time, and nobody to eat it, I decided to go with Hannah's idea and make a parfait.  Except I added chocolate.  Because, you know, everything is better with chocolate.  (Well, most of the time.)

So I made my chocolate shredded wheat granola and then stirred my pudding with yogurt and layered slices strawberries with it all.  I myself was surprised by how much I liked the result.  In fact, instead of being an experiment, this is going onto my repeat list.  I knew I would get good ideas from you guys!

We have smooth yogurt pudding with crunchy, mildly sweet dark chocolate granola.  Add strawberries and we have a elegant, fast, delicious parfait.  I mean, you could even eat this for breakfast!  It is lovely for dessert as well.  Whatever floats your boat, er, parfait glass.
