Yogurt Raisins
What it is
Yogurt raisins are a popular snack made from plump raisins that have been coated in a sweet, creamy yogurt-flavored confection. The yogurt coating provides a tangy contrast to the natural sweetness of the raisins. These are often found in single-serving packs, making them convenient for on-the-go enjoyment. The coating is typically made with sugar, vegetable oil, and milk powder to achieve its characteristic flavor and texture.

How to keep the rest

Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or warm environments, as this can affect the quality of the yogurt coating.
