Yogurt Covered Raisins
What it is
These are plump raisins enrobed in a sweet, creamy yogurt coating. The coating is typically made from yogurt powder, sugar, and vegetable oil, creating a smooth shell around the chewy fruit. The combination offers a balance of sweet, tangy, and fruity flavors.
How people cook with it
Yogurt covered raisins are a popular snack enjoyed on their own. They also add a sweet and slightly tart element to various baked goods and trail mixes.

- Add to trail mix
- Top yogurt parfaits
- Incorporate into cookie dough
Enjoy them straight from the bag for a quick and satisfying treat. For baking, they can be added to cookie dough or muffin batter before baking. They can also be sprinkled over ice cream or yogurt for an extra layer of flavor and texture. When adding to baked goods, consider their tendency to soften slightly with heat.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain raisins, yogurt covered raisins offer a distinct creamy sweetness and a slightly tangy profile from the yogurt coating. The coating provides a different textural experience, being smooth and slightly crisp initially before yielding to the chewy raisin within.
Who it is for
People looking for a sweet and convenient snack often reach for these.
How to keep the rest
To maintain their quality, store any remaining yogurt covered raisins in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat, which can cause the coating to melt or become sticky. Proper storage helps preserve their texture and flavor.
