12 whole Round Peppermint Candies, Unwrapped And Crushed
1-1/2 cup Water

1 cup Vodka (I Used Fluffed Marshmallow By Smirnoff) Or Water (for The Kids' Version)

Directions

1

Set out 8 glasses (about 8-ounce size).
2

In a small saucepan, add 1 1/2 cups of water and crushed peppermints. Bring to boil and stir until peppermints are melted. Add gelatin mix and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat. Stir in vodka or water.
3

Pour a scant 1/3 cup (2.5 ounces) of the gelatin mixture into each glass. Place remaining mixture in a small bowl. Chill glasses and the small bowl of gelatin in the refrigerator until slightly thick. This will take about 1-1 1/2 hours.
4

Mix remaining gelatin (in the small bowl) with two cups of whipped topping. Divide this evenly, putting a dollop on top of each of the 8 glasses. Chill until set, about 4 hours.
5

Top each parfait with a dollop of whipped topping and some crushed candies and serve!
