I found this recipe in the Southern Living January 2009 magazine while at the doctor's office this morning and made it tonight as AJ & I are trying to eat more healthy. I substituted almonds for peanuts (that's what I had) and used un-sweetened coconut instead of sweetened but it came out great! Very tasty! We are not big fans of yogurt so we do not have any in our fridge but this may make me try some. :)
