Yogurt Covered Raisins
What it is
These are plump, sweet raisins enrobed in a creamy, white yogurt coating. The coating provides a tangy contrast to the natural sweetness of the dried fruit. They are a popular snack choice for their convenient size and satisfying combination of flavors and textures. The yogurt coating is typically made with milk solids and sugar, offering a smooth finish. The raisins themselves are dried grapes, offering a chewy center.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining yogurt covered raisins in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage will prevent the coating from melting or becoming sticky and will preserve the chewiness of the raisins.
