Along with the apple and custard chococro product, St. Marc Cafe stores are also offering this Minions Chocolate Banana Parfait. It's a nice blend of fruity and indulgent, and it contains a layer of mango pudding at the bottom, soft serve ice cream, caramel sauce, chocolate, and sliced banana pieces. You also get a cute collaboration charm to keep, which helps justify the price a little. I think if you're the kind of person who enjoys lots of flavors and textures in your parfaits (or you're just a mega Minions fan!) then this is a nice sweet treat to try out.

1200 yen for a parfait is expensive, there's no two ways about it. Even with the various ingredients included and the fact that you get the collaboration charm, I would have preferred it to be a bit cheaper. 1000 yen would have felt more reasonable (although still pretty pricey) but easier to justify. Also, I know some people don't really like the combination of fruity flavors with chocolate/caramel, so if you're not a fan of that mix then I wouldn't recommend this item to you. Overall, I would say it's okay if you're a big Minions fan, but for me the price meant it lost a couple of stars since it wasn't anything truly mindblowing.
