No-Bake Frozen Smores Bars
Introducing... the most pimped out smores bar ever. This bad boy is made with vanilla yogurt, chocolate-covered grahams, marshmallows, walnuts, heavy cream, and loads of chocolate chips. It's your sweet tooth's dream come true (and possibly your diet's nightmare). Note: vanilla yogurt is optional but adds more bite to the bar, like a tangy kick almost as an afterthought, and lets the chocolate go down easy. Rowr.
