Yoghurt Chocolate Idea!

Ok, this entire thing is under the assumption that no one else has invented it yet. I'm afraid of googling it because then they can use my google search and sell it to big companies. Am I paranoid or what! And if anybody doesn't know what yoghurt is, it's also known as yogurt...

Alright, my idea is anything associated with solid yoghurt and other healthy alternatives you can have instead of chocolate. Yoghurt is one of my experiments for now. Imagine Yoghurt easter eggs, yoghurt bars, you can even have fruit, nuts, fruits and nuts in it!

Because yoghurt is white, it would look similar to white chocolate, but better for you. Here's a picture of white chocolate:

Drool* I feel like making some yoghurt right now! So this is an example of a mould!

Oh it's going to be so yummy. Hmm... need to find out how to make it and find out someone to help me market it. Yummy yummy yummy!!!

How to Make

Oh no! It isn't healthy at all --> ehow.com Ingredients:

• 250 grams pkg cream cheese
• 5 cups of icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanillia
• 1/4 cup plain yoghurt

Instruments:

• double boiler
• tongs or dipping fork
• waxed paper or cookie racks

Method:

1. Soften cream cheese and place it in the top pot of the double boiler and add the icing sugar and yogurt. Put just enough water in the bottom of the double boiler that it won't touch the underside of the top pot, and bring the water to a gentle boil.
   
   
2. Put the top pot in place and stir gently and continuously until the cream cheese mixture is melted and well blended. Stir in the vanilla. Turn the heat off, but leave the double boiler on the burner so the water remains hot but not boiling.
   
   
3. With tongs or a dipping fork, pick up one piece at a time of the dried fruit, nuts or candy that you want to coat, and dip them in the melted mixture. Place them on wax-paper lined cookie sheets, or on wire cookie cooling racks. --> this step is replaced by line chocolate moulds/pour in chocolate moulds.
   
   
4. Once the yogurt coated pieces are cool and dry, store them between layers of waxed paper in covered tupperware-type containers. --> I might want to take them out of the moulds. Just a thought.
   
   

* From Step 2 on, you must work quickly and don't let the melted mixture get too hot or it will thicken and burn before you can get the pieces coated.

I shall follow this warning... it's very good of them to.

Yoghurt Drops

I finally searched up "yogurt drops" in google and found out it's actually animal food *cries*. I like them too!

Missing yoghurt treats

Do you know those yummy yoghurt coatings on either the top, bottom or all over a muesli bar?

They once sold them in little balls! They were sold in the confectionery aisle with all the other junk. I miss them so much, they were so yummy. From my un-reliable memory, they were better or a great substitute for chocolate. Now-a-days, when I do get a muesli bar, I usually try to pick off the yoghurt tops and eat them separately.

The frightening thing was that they were replaced a few years ago with "chewy yogurts" for a snack. With replaced I mean, removed the normal yoghurts! *cries* I feel like I should have kept buying them so it seemed like they still had a market, but I didn't have pocket money back then.

For anyone's sake if their is a similar product out there that's yoghurt and also has a chocolate texture, please tell me! I will support that company and I advise them to sell them in those huge chocolate blocks like normal chocolates as a health initiative. <--- I don't remember if they're healthy in the first place, but if they're not, then I don't advise that.


Not related, but I'm also quite happy KitKats are making their way back. Yay for KitKats, even though they don't taste too great in large sizes. This can be seen as a plus since you would eat them in smaller portions.
