Mini Flower Pots for Valentine’s Classroom Treats

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Jodie Fitz

I love Valentine’s Day food! Mostly because I’m like a big kid and just like to play with my food and create concoctions that the kids enjoy. Here is one of our favorite classroom treats to share. It’s quick, easy and delicious – my favorite combination…

And its perfect for your little Valentine to share with their friends .

Mini Flower Pots by Jodie Fitz

3 oz. Price Chopper low fat strawberry yogurt

3 oz. Price Chopper low fat blueberry yogurt

3 oz. Price Chopper fat free whipped topping

1 package frozen mini fillo cups

Strawberries

Blueberries

Thaw the fillo cups for 10 minutes (they are already pre-cooked….FABULOUS!!!). Rinse the strawberries, remove the greens and slice them; set aside. Rinse the blueberries and set aside. In a bowl, fold the yogurts and the whipped topping together. Fill each fillo cup with the mixture. Lay the strawberries around the top as if they are pedals on a flower and top with a blueberry as the center of each flower. This recipe is a great dessert alternative, classroom treat, special occasion breakfast, perfect for tea parties and/or birthday party and all types of celebrations.

Whipped Topping Trade: Use the Greek Vanilla Yogurt to provide the fluff/stiffness that the whipped topping does if you want to swap it out for something more nutritious.

Wow! These look amazing! Great job. I bet home made peanut butter would be great in those cups too. I have a food contest next week. You should enter. Also, thank you so much for joining my blog hop.
