Delicious parfaits, layered with no-bake fluffernutter cheesecake, mini chocolate chips, and edible chocolate chip cookie dough. All your dreams, come true.
You’d think my kids are deprived, the way they talk. About candy and snacks and who gets what in their school lunches. Nearly every day I hear about the fact that Rianna has a bin full of snacks in her locker and Brooke gets Fruit by the Foot ALL the time and Ava’s mom lets her bring candy to school and can they please, please, please have potato chips in their lunch!?
But the worst of all is Rebecca. Because Rebecca gets sandwiches with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff, and that is so NOT fair! Yes, Rebecca gets Fluffernutter sandwiches, and Ellia has taken note. And she wants one….daily! Now here’s the deal. With all the baking and treat-making I do, I already feel like the girls are CONSTANTLY sampling sweets! Way more than they should be! So the very last thing I can justify is sending Ellia to school with a Fluffernutter sandwich!
Of course, in my kids’ minds, the treats they sample at home do NOT translate to satisfaction. In their minds, they NEVER get ANYTHING good….! And let me tell you, I hear about it. To be fair, though, my kids haven’t tried my latest creation – these Fluffernutter Cheesecake Cookie Dough Parfaits. Filled with everything their little hearts might desire: creamy fluffernutter cheesecake (an ode to Rebecca), miniature chocolate chips, and deliciously perfect edible cookie dough (every kid’s dream!) Yep, these little treats are everything dreams are made of, in one little bite of pure deliciousness.
And now, for the love of cookie dough, here’s Round 2 of Cookie Dough Week! (A follow up to Cookie Dough Week Part 1!) Once again, a group my fabulous bloggy friends has gotten together to bring you an amazing collection of recipes, all made with edible cookie dough! It really is a dream come true!! Enjoy!

You hit it out of the park again with this one Cathy! I LOVE it! And your kids sound like my husband – he’s always complaining I give all the good stuff away. Problem is, if I don’t, I’m the one that eats it all
Cathy, that is the most hilarious thing ever! My children act as they are deprived of sweets, as well. Loving the way you incorporated the amazing fluffernutter in with cookie dough… the whole thing is just drool worthy!
I always hear about the other food at school too especially the chips and cookies that kids supposedly bring as their “healthy snack”. Your parfait looks delicious! Pinned!
Oh, my goodness! These parfaits are the bomb! I love every single thing about them. Fluffernutter, cheesecake, chocolate chips…this is the things dreams are made of. And I had to giggle while reading your post…you see my kids are the ones bringing the fluffernutter sandwiches to school and telling all the kids of the amazingness. The funniest is that I just posted about it on my blog today too
This is such a fun treat Cathy! Your kids ARE lucky! But I know what you mean, my kids seem to take for granted all the treats we have daily! It kills me when they get envious of Fruit Roll Ups!
I am going to new 2, maybe 3 or 5 of these right NOW!
These look so delicious! This would certainly make my girls beyond thrilled! Oh and for the record, I think those same girls go to my kids school as well – who gets to bring Sour Patch for snack? Or Doritos? Nope not my kids….ever.
Cathy, these are definitely everything my dreams are made out of!
Isn’t it funny how kids are?! My kiddos do the same sort of thing – but little do they realize how jealous other kids are of THEM for all the yummies they get! Pinned these parfaits!
OMG!! These look absolutely amazing, I just want to eat the cookie dough balls right off of each of these delicious parfaits! YUM
The cookie dough by itself would be just amazing but this fluffernutter cheesecake addition is pure genius! Love this Cathy!
You are seriously right when you say this is all my dreams come true! Brilliant idea! Love the combo of textures and flavors and they are super duper pretty.
Holy smokes these look good! I can’t wait to try them, thanks so much for sharing!!
Wow these are heavenly! And I think your daughters will survive the lunch fiasco!
