The partners in this community service program were families with toddlers and Posyandu cadres in Gumbrih Village, Jembrana Regency, Bali. The main problems identified were the lack of knowledge regarding balanced nutrition for toddlers, the dangers of fast food, and the limited utilization of cocoa as a nutritious food source. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of Posyandu cadres and families with toddlers regarding healthy eating patterns and skills in processing cocoa into nutritious yogurt. The methods included interactive education sessions, cocoa yogurt-making training, hands-on practice, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test assessments. The activity involved 10 participants, consisting of Posyandu cadres and families with toddlers. The results showed an increase in the participants’ average knowledge score from 60 to 86.7, representing a 44.40% improvement. In addition, participants were able to independently practice making cocoa yogurt during the mentoring process. This activity had a positive impact on improving community nutrition literacy, encouraging the utilization of local cocoa-based food products, and supporting healthy dietary patterns and local economic development.
