We covered our California Natural Raisins with a creamy vanilla or chocolate yogurt coating to create a delicious and convenient, high-energy snack—Yogurt Raisins. Now, you can enjoy these same delicious raisins in a rich, buttery cookie or bar. Keep a careful eye on the baking time, as the yogurt raisins are sensitive to heat.
