I've been wanting to try this for ages, but have been afraid too. I'm going to give it a try! I usually buy plain yogurt and flavor it with preserves or sometimes splenda and vanilla extract. It tastes so much better than the flavored store varieties and doesn't have all the other stuff in it.

The flavoring is what I've been having trouble with. Our baby will eat it plain but our 6 year old will have none of it so I'm trying to figure out ways to flavor it without adding a ton of sugar. I'll have to try the vanilla extract and preserves. Thanks.

I had made mango marmalade a few months back and found it goes great with yogurt and then I add a little more splenda to make it more sweet. I've also used lemon balm jam and that was better than the lemon flavored yogurts at the store. I've yet to try this with chocolate but I imagine chocolate syrup might work.
