These Frosted Animal Yogurt Bars are everything you want in a fun summer treat—cool, light, and easy to make. Using vanilla Greek yogurt, swirls of strawberry jam, rainbow sprinkles, and Mother’s Summer Edition Frosted Animal Cookies, these frozen bars look as playful as they taste. They’re a no-bake, freezer-ready snack that feels like a trip to the zoo, a summer party, and a healthy-ish dessert all in one.
Do I need a special mold for these bars?
Yes—these work best in a plastic or silicone bar mold, which helps them hold their shape and makes removal easy. If you don’t already have one, you can find inexpensive molds online or at craft and baking stores.
Can I make these without a mold?
You could use a parchment-lined loaf pan and cut into bars after freezing, but the shapes won’t be as uniform or pop-out clean. For the best results, a mold is recommended.
Do the bars need to be completely frozen before removing?
Yes, they should be fully solid—usually after 3–4 hours in the freezer. To remove, gently press the back of the mold with your fingers to pop them out cleanly.

Can I use a different type of yogurt?
Yes, regular or plant-based yogurt will work, but Greek yogurt gives the best structure and creaminess.
How long can I store them in the freezer?
They keep well in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Place parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
Can I use different jam flavors?
Definitely! Try raspberry, cherry, or blueberry for new color and flavor combos.
Do the sprinkles stay crunchy after freezing?
Jimmies and confetti sprinkles do. Avoid nonpareils or sugar crystals, which may melt or bleed.
Make these bars with your kids as a hands-on summer activity. Let them pick their favorite sprinkle colors, swirl their own jam, and choose which frosted animals top each bar. Serve at a backyard playdate with fruity mocktails or pack them in a cooler for a pool day surprise.
