Ingredient Notes

• Vanilla Greek yogurt: Thick and creamy, Greek yogurt gives these bars a rich texture and helps them hold their shape. Full-fat works best, but any kind will do.
• Strawberry jam: Adds fruity sweetness and a pop of color. Use any flavor you love—just swirl it gently so it doesn’t blend fully into the yogurt.
• Summer-colored sprinkles: Use jimmies or pastel confetti for that classic frosted animal cookie look. They hold up best in the freezer and add a playful crunch.
• Summer Edition Mother’s Frosted Animal Cookies: These cookies bring instant summer fun.
• Plastic bar mold: A plastic mold works perfectly—no need to soak or wait. Just rub the back of each mold cavity gently with your finger to pop the bars right out once frozen. https://amzn.to/40NCNpX

Before You Make

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.

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1½–2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt
• 3–4 tablespoons strawberry jam
• Summer-colored sprinkles
• 6–8 Summer Edition Mother’s Frosted Animal Cookies (whole)
• Plastic bar mold

Instructions

1. Spoon or pipe the vanilla Greek yogurt into each cavity of a silicone bar mold, filling each about 3/4 full.
2. Add a small spoonful of strawberry jam to each and swirl gently with a toothpick or skewer to create a marbled effect.

4. Carefully pop the bars out of the molds and serve frozen.

FAQ

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.

Sprinkle of Fun

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.
