I just made this and only used 1/2 cup of honey instead of 3/4 because it seemed like way too much (especially with the flavored yogurt). It was still crazy sweet so I looked on the freshbaby.com site & their recipe says 1/4 cup of honey, which sounds more realistic!!
I guess I’ll add more rice and yogurt to tone down the sweetness, I hope it freezes well!
(It also says 1/4 cup for the cranberries & pecans, but those are yummy!)
Thank you Amanda! I made the revisions to the recipe…must have been a mistype on my part. Thanks again for letting us know
