1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chups
2 tbsp. half-and-half cream
2 tbsp. whipped cream cheese
2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 cup reduced-fat coffee-flavored yogurt
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 cup whipped topping
2 chocolate graham crackers, crushed
  1. In a small skillet, cook and stir the hazelnuts over medium heat until toasted, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar; cook and stir for 2-4 minutes or until sugar is melted. Spread on foil to cool.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with cream over low heat; stir until smooth. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and brown sugar until blended. Beat in yogurt and vanilla; fold in whipped topping.
  3. In two parfait glasses, layer the graham crackers, yogurt mixture, chocolate mixture and hazelnuts. Refrigerate until chilled. Garnish with the chcolate curls and whipped topping if desired.
