New Tantalizing Snacks From Yoplait Delights To Excite Dessert Devotees

MINNEAPOLIS — Dessert anyone? Just because the holidays are behind us doesn’t mean your sweet tooth has to take a vacation − satisfy your dessert cravings with two new indulgent choices from Yoplait Delights! Yoplait Delights, the rich and creamy yogurt parfait from Yoplait, announces the debut of two new delicious flavors hitting store shelves this month − Chocolate Éclair and Cherry Cheesecake. Each delectable cup offers a texture and taste experience unlike any other, and each parfait contains 100 calories and 1.5 grams of fat.

According to recent research*, 70 percent of consumers eat dessert at least once a week. However, while a slice of cake or plate of pastry may satisfy a post-meal craving, the excess fat and calories that often accompany desserts may not be as well-received.

“Dessert is my favorite part of a meal and Yoplait Delights are the perfect everyday treat!” said Adam Gertler, food expert, dessert lover and celebrity chef. “The two layers and creamy texture in each parfait cup give you that indulgent feeling you’re looking for when you’re craving dessert. And with flavors like Chocolate Éclair and Cherry Cheesecake, Yoplait Delights really satisfy without the excess calories or guilt.”
