Equipment

Ingredients

¾ cup yogurt chips
1 ½ teaspoons coconut oil
¼ cup dried blueberries
¼ cup dried strawberries
¼ cup dried cherries
Red and blue natural food coloring

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the dried strawberries into ½-inch pieces. Use your hands roll the strawberries and the dried cherries into small balls.
Melt ¼ cup yogurt chips and ½ teaspoon coconut oil in a small bowl in 30 second intervals in your microwave, stirring in between each interval, until melted and smooth.
Use 2 to 3 drops of food coloring to dye the melted yogurt chips pink, purple (red+blue dye), or blue.
*only use up to 3 drops because more food coloring will cause the yogurt to cease up.
Using a toothpick, dip one dried blueberry at a time into the melted yogurt chips until fully coated. Use another toothpick to slide the fruit off of the first toothpick and place it onto the lined baking sheet.
Repeat steps 3 through 5, two more times to coat the strawberries, and then the cherries.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 5 minutes, or until the yogurt mixture hardens.
Store yogos at room temperature in an airtight container.

Notes

No yogurt chips? Use white chocolate instead!

Don't like dried blueberries, cherries, or strawberries? You can use dried apricots, dried kiwis, or dried pineapples too. The key is just to make sure they have a chewy, gummy-like consistency.

Can't use coconut oil? You can use butter to help melt the yogurt chips instead.
