Yogurt Covered Raisins
What it is
These are plump, sweet raisins that have been coated in a creamy, tangy yogurt-flavored shell. The yogurt coating provides a contrasting texture and flavor to the chewy fruit inside. The coating is typically made from a blend of sugar, vegetable oil, and yogurt powder, creating a smooth, sweet exterior that melts in your mouth. It's a popular treat that combines the natural sweetness of fruit with a dessert-like coating.
