Sheryl~ I love this idea! My son would flip for these! I’m definitely going to try them, and blog them. When I do, I will be certain to give a shout out to you! Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Have a blessed week & come back soon!
This is a creative yummy snack for adults too! Thanks for sharing this one.
this is a nice creative idea. will try it out right away.
Does it have to be Greek yogurt? I did small buttons with baby yogurt for my daughter and they started melting as I was scraping them off the pan.
Hi Rachel,
I don’t know how thick baby yogurt is but greek yogurt is VERY thick and will hold the shape. It’s almost like sour cream it’s so thick. I hope this helps. Thanks for visiting. 🙂
I have a tip that might help. If you strain other types of yogurt through cheesecloth, even just for 5-10 minutes, it will be nice and thick like greek yogurt. I did that with the plain vanilla cups that are always left over when my husband buys those 12-packs of yogurts and made frozen buttons for myself. Such a nice little snack to ward off night snack cravings!
Hi Lindsay, Thanks for the tip, the idea of makeing some and portioning them out for night time snacks. Great idea! 🙂
My kids always beg me for those tube yogurt treats, and I never get them for them – this will make a great treat for them the next time they ask! Thanks for the inspiration!
I just made this using a frosting bag and tip (I happen to have these laying around, lol). I don’t recommend using a Greek yogurt that has chunks! 🙂 The key lime and raspberry were fine, but the strawberry kept clogging my frosting tip. I was able to make 100-120 buttons per cup of yogurt. If you lay down parchment paper on your cookie sheet, they peel right off! I’m really excited to see how my daughter likes these, but I’m sure she’ll love them and so will I. Great healthy dessert alternative!
Hi Sharon, I hope Your daughter likes them! Thanks for visiting! 🙂
Just came across these on pinterest …
Im going to give them a go!!
Thanks for sharing!!
What brand and flavors did you do to get your colos? I want to do these for a baby shower and these colors are perfect.
Hi Joy,
I’m sorry I don’t remember the brand. The flavors were orange, cherry and lime. The important thing was to find Greek yogurt that didn’t have chunks of fruit so I could make the buttons. 🙂
Awesome. Thank you.
If you do want to use a yogurt with chunks, try giving it a whiz in the blender first, then sticking it back to refrigerate so it stays nice and thick!
Hi Kelsey, Thanks! That is a GREAT idea! 🙂
Did you have to keep the yogurt in the freezer after initially freezing them?
Hi Erin, If you want to keep it frozen….:)
fantastic idea , just love it.
🙂 I can’t wait to try these out on my grandkids & myself too….sounds like a great solution to my nightime snack sweet-tooth. Thanks, Sharon
QUESTION: how long do they stay frozen while “out” & do they make messy fingers? GREAT IDEA!! thx
Hi Di,
They don’t stay frozen that long and yes, the kids will get messy fingers. But they’re delicious and they love them! 🙂
I made these for my kiddos and they were huge fans! Its a perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day!
Yay! That’s awesome Stephanie. 🙂
Made these for my teething 10 month old. He loved them, thanks.
Awww how sweet! 🙂
What a fun idea for snacks! I love it!
Sheryl,
I had seen this yogurt snack on Pinterest before, actually several times, but just tried it recently. I wanted to try something a little different, so I used my silicone ice cube trays which have designs on the bottom, one having a wagon wheel design and the other was my Mickey Mouse shaped ice cube tray. I just take a small teaspoon of yogurt, any kind you like, and fill the ice cube tray to the size I want, so easy! Since these ice cube trays are very flexible, the yogurt designs come out pretty easily by just pushing on the bottom of the tray. I turn the yogurt designs over so the design is on top and they look so cute, especially for parties! It’s a great snack with a “special touch”.
That does sound cute Carolyn!
What a fun idea. I can’t wait to make these with my nephews!
I’m very excited to try these they look so tasty and easy thank you!
LOOKS REALLY YUMMY… CAN’T WAIT 2 MAKE WIT MY KID’S… THNX U 4 PUTTIN SUMTHN SO YUMMY LOOKIN OUT HERE 4 US PARENTS WHO HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN… MY KID’S R 5 & 10… SO IT WILL BE A GREAT SUMMER SNACK OR LUNCH BOX SNACK…
I just made this and we are waiting to see how they turned out in an hour or so. It was very easy to do and my 8 and 11 year old children helped. We cannot wait to try them out!!
how do you get them that colo
Hi DD, the yogurt was that color.
Thought this was the cutest idea! Bought Greek Vanilla yogurt
made 1 cup and put purple food coloring in it. Plastic bag, pipped out
froze for several hours. They are a great snack! I have the rest frozen
in a container. I take a few out at a time! That one cup made about 40 buttons. Not as pretty as yours! I will work on that. Thanks
Awesome Margo. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I was wondering if it would b possibly to add to the yogurt b4 making them into little chips. I wanted to blend up some avocado and fold it into the yogurt. Has anyone tried this?
Sorry Adriana, I have no idea. Maybe someone else here can answer that question….. 🙂
What would the shelf life of this be how long can I keep them before having to throw away
I would say at least as long as the date on the yogurt containers.
Hi Sheryl, love the frozen yogurt drops, will be trying them out myself.
xx
That’s great Debbie!
