During my kids’ winter holidays, I made these Sweet Yogurt Braids to have as a snack. They are healthy and taste delicious. And the best part? The girls loved them! I love sweet breads, don’t you? And these are particularly tasty and they also look cute, which is always a plus, especially for the kids. They also freeze well, so they are perfect for your kids’ lunchboxes! Try them and let me know how you like them!

How much sugar is mixed with the melted butter?
Hi Lisa! I am so sorry about that! I must have skipped a line while copying the recipe from my notebook! You need 100 grams – 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. I have fixed the recipe now. Thank you for letting me know!
