August is right around the corner! Here in Florida, it’s only getting hotter and hotter. Beat the heat with these easy Dark Chocolate and Fruit Yogurt Pops.
A few months ago I picked up a popsicle mold at the dollar store. Ever since, it’s been one of my favorite ways to create a fun snack or dessert. I use all sorts of easy ingredients and layer them together into a colorful treat.
One of my favorite ingredients to use for the base of the popsicle is yogurt. It tastes so good frozen! It’s really easy to dress it up with fruit, candy or nuts.
These pops would be a lot of fun to make with kids, but grown-ups love them, too! Popsicles are nostalgic for me, so it’s a fun way to brighten the day. They always bring back memories!
If you aren’t a dark chocolate fan, these pops could also be made with milk chocolate or even white chocolate. Try mixing things up and add in a few other fun ingredients, too. It’s fun to see what you can come up with using the ingredients you have in the house!
For these pops, I picked up three flavors of Yoplait yogurt: strawberry, peach and blueberry. Making each popsicle a different color was a lot of fun!
To add a layer of texture, I chopped up some dark chocolate and added it to the molds before freezing.
These pops were the perfect treat to cool off with on a hot summer day! You can save on the ingredients when you shop at Publix by using these coupons.

Dark Chocolate & Fruit Yogurt Pops
Ingredients
- 4 Yoplait yogurts, any flavor
- About 4 squares from a bar of dark chocolate
- 1 popsicle mold that makes 4 popsicles, you could also use paper cups and popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Chop the dark chocolate up into large chunks. Sprinkle about 1/2 of the pieces into the bottom of the popsicle molds.
- For each mold, spoon a layer of yogurt over top of the dark chocolate (I used a different flavor for each mold) about 1 inch tall.
- Sprinkle the remaining dark chocolate into the molds. Add another layer of yogurt to each mold, filling it up to the rim.
- Place the popsicle sticks into the molds. Place in the freezer for at least 3 hours or overnight.

You and your popsicles! Do you know it’s 110 here?! Will you just bring me some already!? Do not do this to a pregnant woman!
Jenna Brussee says
I’ll be right over! Hahah these are so easy to make it’s practically cheating.
Jaelan @ Making Mrs. M says
I really do need to get on the popsicle bandwagon. These really do look so good and I like that yogurt is the base… not quite as sugary.
Jenna Brussee says
You sure do! I would love to see the popsicle recipes you would come up with.
Amanda Elizabeth says
Ummmmmm I need those like yesterday and I love the chocolate addition to them 😉
Jenna Brussee says
The chocolate was just what it needed! It adds a little crunch and sweetness.
Adriana Renee says
This looks so delicious! I need to try this asap!
Jenna Brussee says
Do it! They are oh so simple to make.
Miranda @ Miranda Writes says
I am really into popsicles right now. I keep seeing tons of recipes I want to try. Adding chocolate chunks is genius!
Jenna Brussee says
I am, too! They are so much fun to make (and to eat!). I’ve got about a million recipes pinned that I need to try soon.
Mandy says
I really need to get a popsicle mold! I never would have thought of making them using just chocolate and yogurt but now I really want to try it
Jenna Brussee says
Popsicle molds are so nice to have! You can go all out with a fancy recipe or just make something simple with what you have in the house. I bought my mold at the dollar store and it works great!
Sasha Maples Johns says
So this is going to happen over the weekend. With three kids I have no shortage of popsicle molds.
Jenna Brussee says
Yay! These are so stinkin’ easy to make, and kids will love ’em.
Stephanie Powers says
We’ve been popsicle obsessed ever since you and I did the popsicle challenge! I can’t believe how easy this is, and I bet they’re delicious! I have some key lime yogurt and white chocolate chips in my pantry I might try it with. 🙂
Jenna Brussee says
Oooh, that sounds amazing! I hope you got a chance to try that. I might need to do that soon, too.
Stephanie Powers says
We tried it, and oh my yum!! They disappeared so fast that I couldn’t even instagram a photo. Getting more key lime yogurt this week and maybe I’ll get a photo. 🙂
Katie says
Jenna – these look so good! I love this idea. I really need to use my popsicle mold more. I love them when I make them – I can totally handle 2 ingredients too!
Jenna Brussee says
I’m obsessed with my popsicle mold! It’s so much fun to experiment with the ingredients I have in the house.
Linda Warren says
What a clever idea! I love making yogurt pops but the addition of the dark chocolate was brilliant! (So says this dark chocolate addict). And I commiserate on the August heat since I am in Florida too! These will definitely help us cool off.
Jenna Brussee says
I pretty much always have yogurt and dark chocolate in the house, so these are so easy to make! Where in Florida are you?
Linda Warren says
Hey Jenna! I was excited to read your “about” page and find out you are a fellow Florida Gator. Go Gators! I’m located in South Florida, in beautiful Boca Raton. And congrats on your upcoming wedding!

They were delicious, and super simple to make! Thanks for stopping by.
Erin says
I could totally go for one of these yogurt pops right now! I love how simple they are, but how they’re easily a wonderful dessert (or even treat!) for the summertime. Since it’s been so hot here recently, I could totally get behind something like this.
Jenna Brussee says
You should SO try it! I pretty much always have these ingredients in the house so these pops are a snap to throw together. I just have to wait for them to freeze!
