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!

Snowflake Mint w/ Oreos


*7 out of 10

Ingredients:
- Snowflake mint yogurt
- Oreos

This is a good yogurt. It tastes good and the textures are right. If you like Thinmint Girl Scout cookies, you'll like this yogurt. There isn't much more to say about it other than the fact that it definitely replicates the flavor of Thinmint perfectly. Try it and let us know what you think!

Chocolate Twilight Crunch



*5 out of 10

Ingredients:
- Chocolate Twilight yogurt
- Cinnamon Toast crunch
- M&M's
- Oreos (crushed)
- Chopped roasted almonds

This was not as sweet as I imagined, probably because the yogurt is an NSA yogurt (no sugar added). However, it was overwhelmingly crunchy.  Just look at the picture above and you can imagine what a mouthful of this combination would taste like.  If you give this yogurt a try, I would recommend crushing all the ingredients instead of eating it on top of the yogurt that way, you are not just eating a big bite of dry toppings.  Also, try getting this without the M&M's, they don't compliment the yogurt. When M&Ms get cold, they get hard and this causes a conflict between the two variations of chocolate and their textures.

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.

Strawberry Delight


*8.5 out of 10

Ingredients:
- Fresh strawberry yogurt
- Oreos pieces
- Cheesecake pieces

Another highly recommended flavor to try.  I wanted to use strawberry yogurt in a way that created a combination, which didn't involve fruit or anything sour.  The strawberry yogurt with Oreos alone was good enough for me to give it an 8. The Oreos did not mask the flavor of the strawberry nor did it overpower in sweetness.  I think that in general Oreos are just a good compliment with yogurt because it doesn't harden when it gets cold. In fact parts of it becomes softer, which might actually be a con if you don't like soggy Oreo pieces but nevertheless it blends out smoothly in every bite.  Notice I haven't talked much about the cheesecake pieces? Thats because I am not quite convinced that cheesecake was the best fit.  It competed with the flavor of the Oreos and if you got more than one block of cheesecake in a bite, then it was just too much.  The strawberry yogurt and Oreos is definitely a strong base to build from but I think there are better options than the cheesecake.  With that said, give it a try and let me know what you think!

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.
