Cook's Notes

Valentine's Day Yogurt Cups

Fruit on the bottom, hearts on the top! Make these festive parfaits the night before Valentine's Day by layering jam, chopped pistachios, and yogurt in jars; cover and put them in the fridge. In the morning, while the cinnamon toast is in the oven, spoon warmed jam into a resealable plastic bag, snip a corner, and pipe out three dots on each yogurt. Drag a toothpick through them to create heart shapes.
