Fudge Brownie!!!



*8.5 out of 10

- Double Cookies and Cream yogurt
- Brownie bites
- Oreos
- Chopped peanuts
- Ghirardelli chocolate syrup



Mmmhmmh! Wow! This combination left me speechless at first bite because it was surprisingly really good! I've tried the brownie bites in other yogurts and their taste always disappointed me. But in this combination they were heavenly! Mostly because of the Ghirardelli chocolate syrup, which as I've stated before that it's usually so overwhelming of a flavor that you are not able to taste anything else. However, the syrup actually enhanced the chocolate flavor of the brownie bites. The composition of the yogurt had a nice chewy texture to it. Peanuts went very well this combination and I would even recommend using walnuts as a substitute. Although, putting too many walnuts could make it too crunchy and their flavor can be a risky change to this already amazing combination. As cliche as it sounds the walnuts are a risk that I would be willing to take with this mix. The yogurt itself has a milk chocolate flavor to it so the stronger taste of the syrup compliment each other very well so that the mix does not have too strong of a chocolate flavor. I actually tried this combo twice with the exact same amount of toppings and what I found out is that this compilation of toppings are kinda perfect. It sounds contradictory but what I mean about being kinda perfect is that their is an imperfection with the Oreos because of the big cookie pieces. The Oreo chips are actually too crunchy so what I figured out on the second time I made it was to only add oreo crumbs and not to add the bigger pieces of the cookies. For you CHOCOLATE LOVERS, this is a MUST TRY! Bon appetit!

Cookie Monster


*6 out of 10

Ingredients:
- double cookies and cream yogurt
- vanilla wafer yogurt
- oreos
- cookie dough bites
- frosted animal cookies

Attention cookie lovers: this one's for you. This yogurt combination is very sweet, but hey, it IS called the Cookie Monster. As opposed to our other yogurts where the yogurt is the base, in this one, the yogurt is actually just a complimentary flavor to the toppings. You don't really taste the flavor of the double cookies and cream and vanilla wafer yogurts. I would say that the oreo, cookie dough, and animal cookie toppings overpower the yogurt, but that's not exactly true. The toppings take the light in this one, but the yogurt is what allows it to shine. All the ingredients work together to create a very complete experience, both in texture and in taste.
When you think of the two yogurts here—double cookies and cream and vanilla wafer—you would think sweet, but when paired with these toppings, they seem to be more of neutral and balance out the extreme sweet of the toppings. And again, you don't really taste the flavor of the yogurt, but it's there and it works well. Definitely try this if you're a lover of cookies and sweets. It's pretty good and I would get this again.

Yogurt SUICIDE #1



*1 out of 10 

Ingredients: (It is probably better that you didn't know)
- Double Cookies n' Cream yogurt
- Vanilla Wafer yogurt
- New York Cheesecake yogurt
- Peanut Butter yogurt
- Chocolate Twilight yogurt
- Brownie bites
- Cheesecake bites
- Cookie dough bites
- Dewars pieces
- Frosted animal cookies

Well, this just goes to show you that we aren't afraid to go the distance when experimenting with yogurt. I was feeling nostalgic trying this flavor of yogurt.  How many of you remember that time as a kid when you filled up your cup with ten different flavors of soda and called it a "suicide?" This is really no different except unfortunately, it tastes horrible.  I mean the only thing that I could actually distinguish within the yogurt was the frosted animal bites and that was probably because of the texture.  The truth is, that I was in utter confusion.  I didn't really know what to make of it other than the fact that it was SWEET.  There was just too much going on.  This particular flavor I probably won't ever get again but that doesn't mean there won't be another "suicide" flavor that we write about.  I am fairly confident that there will be a "suicide," which tastes surprisingly good in light of its intimidating ingredients.

* I am defining "suicide" as a limited conglomerate of yogurts and toppings.  It is not being used as the traditional usage: combining all flavors (in this case both toppings and yogurt) exhaustively.

Chocolate Fantasy



*6 out of 10


Ingredients:
- double cookies and cream yogurt
- oreos
- walnut
- malt ball
- chocolate sprinkle
- ghirardelli chocolate syrup
- yogurt chips

If you have been obsessing over something chocolate all day, then this is a combination that you need to try.  Overall the yogurt is quite tasty but you need to brace yourself for a toothache. This is probably one of the sweetest flavors that we have tasted.  Definitely not something that I would recommend getting regularly.  There is so much packed in this one cup of yogurt that makes it difficult to address all of the elements. The mix of yogurt chips, walnuts, chocolate sprinkle, malt balls and oreos makes every bite a "crunchy" one.  The ghirardelli syrup raises the sweetness level of the yogurt to another level so keep that in mind.  *Remember: that when using chocolate syrup only use a miniscule amount.  The richness and heaviness of syrup is what often causes people to be unsatisfied because they assumed that their yogurt would be less sweet. In this particular case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to remove the syrup as well as the yogurt chips.  That way the yogurt still has most of its primary elements but it is not over the top.
