- Toast nuts in a dry skillet for 3 to 5 minutes before assembly to improve flavor.
- Layer ingredients in clear containers to see the layers.
- Store assembled cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, keep yogurt and mix separate for up to 5 days, assembling just before eating.
