Yogurt, like Olympic figure skaters or Alaskan malamutes, performs optimally when freezing cold and stuffed with candy. Sample a chilly, candy-coated treat with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of self-serve frozen yogurt at Poppy’s Frozen Yogurt.

The self-serve yogurt stations and the smorgasbord of toppings at Poppy’s Frozen Yogurt grant aspiring dessert designers mastery over their frozen fates. Mix and match a rotating selection of eight yogurt flavors, including Reese’s peanut butter, very-berry sorbet, cheesecake, and classic chocolate, or other options free of sugar, dairy, and despair. The toppings bar features more than 40 fixings to ornament mouthwatering masterpieces with fresh fruit, chopped candies, and nuts. Breakfast cereals, such as Fruity Pebbles and Cap’n Crunch, transform sweet treats into a nutritional, well-balanced breakfast to fuel a taxing day of paper filing and participating in roller-chair derbies. Since price is determined by weight ($0.34 per ounce), think carefully before cloaking a creamy concoction with candy-coated uranium marbles.

The dessert den’s charming interior, painted in pastel hues, provides a relaxing and cozy sweet-seeking environment that’s reminiscent of reclining inside a tornado of cotton candy. Chic white picnic tables provide ample seating for adults, while a separate kids’ section allows pint-sized patrons to feast on frozen creations while coloring, playing games, or planning a mutinous uprising.
