What it is
These are plump raisins coated in a smooth, sweet vanilla yogurt confection. The coating provides a creamy texture that contrasts with the chewy fruit inside. They are a popular treat for both children and adults, offering a satisfying combination of sweet and fruity flavors. The yogurt coating is typically made with sugar, vegetable oil, and milk solids, creating a familiar taste profile.
