If you're crying out for a hot weather snack - we have just the thing for you - yogurt bark! Relatively healthy; mega cooling; super delicious and very easy to make! Yogurt bark is one of those relatively new desserts that the Pinterest community have gone mad for in more recent years: Sheets of frozen yogurt topped with things like chocolate, fruit, cookie pieces... whatever you fancy really! It's so versatile. And if you don't want it in bark form, the same mixture can be popped into lolly moulds to make ice-lollies.
