This S’mores Yogurt Bark is a fun twist on a classic treat! Made with creamy yogurt, sweet chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers, it’s like eating a campfire favorite without the smoke!
Perfect for a quick snack or dessert, I love to break off pieces and share with friends. It’s a messy treat, but that’s half the fun—who doesn’t love a little chocolate on their fingers? 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek Yogurt: This gives the bark its creamy base. I prefer plain for a tangy flavor, but vanilla yogurt works great too. For a dairy-free version, you can use coconut yogurt instead! It’s delicious and adds a tropical twist.
Sweetener: Honey or maple syrup adds sweetness. I usually go with honey, but you can skip it if you want a less sweet treat. Agave syrup also makes a good substitute if that’s what you have at home.
Mini Marshmallows: These are essential for that classic S’mores taste. If you want a healthier version, try using dried fruit or yogurt-covered raisins instead!
Chocolate Chips: I love using semi-sweet chocolate chips for richer flavor, but milk chocolate is also great if you prefer something sweeter. Dark chocolate can be a delightful option too, especially for chocolate lovers.
Graham Crackers: These add that crunchy texture. If you’re gluten-free, look for gluten-free graham crackers, or aim for crushed nuts for a different texture.
How Do I Get the Marshmallows Perfectly Toasted?
Toasting marshmallows adds flavor and texture, but it’s important to do it carefully. You can use a kitchen torch for the best results, but a broiler works as well!
- Preheat your broiler if using. Keep a close eye, as they can toast quickly—just a minute or two!
- If using a torch, hold it about 6 inches away and move it in circles over the marshmallows until they are golden brown.
- For softer marshmallows, simply skip toasting and enjoy them as is for a gooey texture!
This S’mores Yogurt Bark is a fun treat that’s easy to customize. Enjoy making it your own!
How to Make S’mores Yogurt Bark
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Base:
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
For the Toppings:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- 4 graham crackers, crushed into small pieces
Time Needed:
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare, and you’ll need to freeze the yogurt bark for at least 4 hours to set, so make sure to plan ahead! It’s perfect for making ahead for a party or a tasty snack anytime.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Start by lining a baking sheet or flat tray with parchment paper. This will prevent the yogurt from sticking and make it easier to lift the bark out after it freezes.
2. Mix the Yogurt:
In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if you want it sweeter), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
3. Spread the Yogurt:
Use a spatula to spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the parchment paper. Aim for a thin layer, about 1/4 inch thick, so it freezes nicely!
4. Add the Graham Crackers:
Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers evenly over the yogurt. This will give it that classic S’mores flavor and a nice crunch.
5. Top it Off:
Next, scatter the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips on top. Feel free to be generous with the toppings—who wouldn’t want a lot of chocolate and marshmallows?
6. Toast the Marshmallows (Optional):
If you have a kitchen torch or if you want to use a broiler, toast the marshmallows until they are lightly browned and melty. Keep a close eye on them, as they can go from perfect to burnt in seconds! If you don’t have a torch or broiler, no worries—just leave the marshmallows soft.
7. Freeze the Bark:
Place the tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt is completely firm. Make sure it’s set completely before you try to cut it!
8. Break and Enjoy:
Once frozen, take the yogurt bark out of the freezer. Use your hands to break it into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for a delicious snack anytime!
Enjoy your cool, creamy, and crunchy S’mores Yogurt Bark! It’s a perfect treat for warm days or just when you crave something sweet. Enjoy! 🍫🌟
Can I Use Non-Dairy Yogurt for This Recipe?
Yes, you can definitely use non-dairy yogurt! Options like coconut, almond, or soy yogurt work well as substitutes, just make sure to choose a plain or vanilla flavor for the best taste.
What Can I Use Instead of Graham Crackers?
If you want a gluten-free option, try using gluten-free graham crackers or crushed nuts like almonds or pecans for a different texture. You can also use vanilla wafers or oatmeal cookies for a fun twist!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover S’mores Yogurt Bark in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep well for about 2-3 weeks. Just break off a piece whenever you’re in the mood for a sweet treat!
Can I Add More Toppings?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with your toppings. You can add crushed candy bars, peanut butter chips, or even fresh fruit like banana slices for a delicious twist!
