FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is preferred for its thickness and creaminess, which helps the bars hold their shape. If using regular yogurt, strain it through cheesecloth to remove excess liquid before mixing.

Can I prepare these bars ahead of time?

Yes, these bars freeze well and can be made several days in advance, making them a convenient snack to have ready in the freezer.
