This S’mores Yogurt Bark is a fun, no-bake treat that brings together creamy yogurt, chocolate, and crunchy grahams. It’s like a camping favorite but in a cool, easy-to-eat form!
Making it is as simple as mixing yogurt and toppings, then freezing it. I love how I can enjoy that campfire flavor without the bugs! Just break it apart and snack away. 🍫✨
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek Yogurt: Use either plain for tanginess or vanilla for sweetness. If you have dietary restrictions, try dairy-free yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt. They also work well!
Honey or Maple Syrup: These are great for adding a bit of sweetness. If you prefer, you can leave it out completely or substitute with agave syrup for a vegan option.
Mini Marshmallows: These give that classic s’mores feel! If you’re avoiding marshmallows, try using chopped dried fruits like apricots or figs for a chewy texture.
Chocolate Chips: Dark or semisweet chocolate gives a rich flavor. You can switch to milk chocolate for a sweeter treat or even use white chocolate for a fun twist!
Crushed Graham Crackers: These add that crunch reminiscent of the campfire treat. If gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers or crushed almond flour cookies for a similar texture.
How Do I Get Perfectly Layered Yogurt Bark?
Getting those lovely layers in your yogurt bark takes a few careful steps. Start with a smooth layer of yogurt and be sure not to spread it too thick, as it might take longer to freeze or be hard to cut later.
- Spread the yogurt to about 1/2 inch thick for nice, easy-to-bite pieces.
- When adding toppings, sprinkle them evenly so every piece has a bit of everything.
- Drizzling melted chocolate on top adds a fun layer, but let it cool slightly before drizzling to keep mess minimal.
Lastly, make sure it’s frozen long enough! The bark should be solid before breaking it into pieces. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh. Enjoy your tasty snack!
How to Make S’mores Yogurt Bark
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup crushed graham crackers
- ¼ cup melted chocolate (for drizzling)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful treat takes about 15 minutes of prep time, plus at least 4 hours to freeze until solid. It’s easy to whip up and perfect for a cool snack!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet:
Start by lining a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. This will make it easy to lift out the yogurt bark later without it sticking.
2. Mix the Yogurt:
In a medium bowl, scoop in the Greek yogurt. If you want your yogurt a bit sweeter, you can add honey or maple syrup at this stage. Mix it in well until it’s smooth and creamy.
3. Spread the Yogurt:
Now, take your sweetened yogurt and spread it evenly on the parchment paper. Aim for a thin layer, about 1/2 inch thick, so it freezes nicely.
4. Add the Delicious Toppings:
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the yogurt layer. Then, add the chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers, making sure they’re spread out so you get a little bit of everything in every bite!
5. Drizzle the Chocolate:
Grab your melted chocolate and drizzle it over the toppings in a fun pattern. This adds a beautiful touch and extra chocolate goodness!
6. Freeze Until Firm:
Pop the tray into the freezer and let it chill for at least 4 hours or until the yogurt is completely solid. This step is key for that perfect bark.
7. Break and Serve:
Once frozen, take the tray out and break the bark into pieces. You can serve it right away or store the pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for later snacking.
Enjoy every delicious bite of your sweet and cold S’mores Yogurt Bark—a perfect treat for hot days or whenever you’re craving something fun and tasty!
Can I Use Different Yogurt?
Absolutely! Although Greek yogurt gives a creamy texture, you can use any yogurt you prefer, such as regular or dairy-free yogurt. Just keep in mind that the consistency may vary slightly.
How Can I Make This Recipe Vegan?
To make it vegan, simply use plant-based yogurt (like almond or coconut yogurt), replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar, and ensure your chocolate chips are dairy-free. All swaps should maintain the delicious flavor!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover yogurt bark in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep well for about 1-2 weeks, but it’s best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
Can I Use Other Toppings?
Yes! Feel free to get creative with toppings! You can use nuts, different types of chocolate, dried fruits, or even crushed cookies for a unique twist. Just make sure they aren’t too heavy, or they might sink into the yogurt layer.
