Happy National Chocolate Parfait Day!

When I think of parfaits, I think of vanilla yogurt layered with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and granola - one of our family favorites for breakfast or a snack.

How about you?
What comes to mind when you think of parfaits?

I learned today that “In French, the word parfait means perfect. French and Americans, however, have a differing opinions on what a parfait really is. The traditional French parfait is made by boiling cream, adding egg, sugar and syrup then creating a custard-type puree, which is then frozen. Americans, on the other hand, layer ingredients of differing varieties. Both French and Americans use a clear, tall glass when serving a chocolate parfait.” (Thank you Internet for teaching me something new)

Have you ever had a parfait? If so what flavor(s)?
Anyone eating a parfait today?
We have berries and yogurt in the fridge so I might have to make them for an after school snack!

I’ve never had a chocolate one but now I want to try one! I’ve had chocolate trifle which is pretty close, just giant sized lol
 
I usually think of the yogurt/fruit combination when I think of parfaits, but I also think about DQ's Peanut Buster Parfait which I love! Our school cafeteria also has a Chunky Monkey parfait that has yogurt, bananas, and chocolate.
 
When I saw the title of this thread I thought of the yogurt/fruit variety of parfait. I do love those. But I think that I'd also really like the French version too. Sounds yummy.
 
Nowadays I think of the layered yogurt parfaits, but as a kid my mom made three layer Jello parfaits for dessert ... one of those layers had air bubbles ... not sure how she did that (whipped the Jello when cooled? Used ginger ale?). All I do know is that she didn't use the 1-2-3 Jello box mix.
 
When I think partait, I immediately think of Dairy Queen's Peanut Buster Parfait. (And now I want one.)
 
This is the only parfait I'll ever need:
