Mini Yogurt Flower Pots

Mini Yogurt Flower Pots, as I like to refer to them, are a simple, but delicious little treat.  I often bring them with me when I am off and promoting the Price Chopper Kids Cooking Club because they can be created quickly and are always a crowd pleaser.  Even people who don't like yogurt tend to really like this sweet tasting mixture.  It's funny, when people ask me how to make the Mini Yogurt Flower Pots, I almost always say, "You won't believe how easy it is!" And, I mean it.  I love when you can create something in the kitchen that doesn't take hours, but everyone loves...I'm all about the quick and easy and as a busy mother or three, I don't always have any other choice!

Mini Yogurt Flower Pots can be a healthy dessert alternative, a fun after school snack, the perfect treat for tea parties for all ages and of course they make a super birthday party addition.  I've actually blogged about this recipe in the past, but realized I typically make them in bulk, so I'm re-including the recipe again, but this time I've downsized it!


Mini fillo cups, thawed
3 oz. strawberry yogurt
3 oz. blueberry yogurt
2.5 oz. whipped topping
Strawberries
Blueberries

1. Wash, rinse, remove the greens and slice the strawberries. Set aside.
2. Wash the blueberries and set aside.
3. Mix the yogurts and whipped topping together.
4. Fill the fillo cups with the yogurt mixture.
5. Arrange 3 - 4 strawberry slices on top of each yogurt filled cup to serve as your flower pedals. Place a blueberry in the center to finish off your flower.
