Now that the base is dry, carefully dip the tip of the berry into the melted chocolate and place a white chocolate chip on top. Place the berries back in the refrigerator once more to firm up the chocolate.

Once firm, place the berry on top of each parfait to create a Santa hat. Feel free to add some whipped cream for a sweeter treat. To keep it healthy, skip the whipped cream!
