Things to do in Scottsdale: Yogurt Builderz in North Scottsdale

It’s hard to imagine improving upon the kids and ice cream concept. You say, “Want to go get ice cream?” They say, “ICE CREAM!” You take that as a yes, drive them to the local parlor and there is much rejoicing.

Looking for that elusive next level of frozen fun, however, we stumbled across Yogurt Builderz in Scottsdale. Tucked in amongst the businesses on the Northwest corner of Scottsdale & Thunderbird Rds, Yogurt Builderz offers a more interactive experience.

Given cups and directions, Brandi, the boys and I were loosed upon various flavors and toppings (including a couple of unusual selections like pomegranate and kiwi/strawberry). We were free to grab any size container we wished, and as many flavors/toppings as our imaginations would hold. The cost is based purely on weight. After perfecting our concoctions and taking them to the register, we saw our creations weighed to determine the extent of the damage that the boys’ outsized gluttonous eyes would inflict upon my wallet at a rate of 39¢ per ounce.

I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of debit devastation. Seems that piling on mini M & M’s, sprinkles, marshmellows, etc is far more economical when you aren’t getting whacked at the borderline usurious norm of 50¢ per topping. In this economy, you take the good news where you can.

-Victory!!!

-This one too, please.

-Damnit... too fast again.

The boys had a great time making, and more importantly, devouring, their treats. While the reduced fat content of the yogurt was more than offset by the sugar-infused madness we heaped upon it, we can still pretend that we have found a healthier alternative to the heavy creams that comprise the real mccoy.

That’s our story, and like dessert to our ribs, we're sticking to it.
