Giant Eagle Yogurt Cranberries
What it is
These are dried cranberries that have been coated in a yogurt-flavored confection. The yogurt coating provides a sweet and slightly tangy contrast to the tartness of the cranberries. They are often found in snack mixes or enjoyed on their own as a sweet treat. The coating is typically made with sugar, vegetable oil, and milk solids, giving it a smooth texture.

Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or excessive heat, as this can cause the coating to melt or become sticky. Ensure the container is sealed to prevent moisture from affecting the texture.
