Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

1/3 cup chopped nuts (e.g., peanuts or almonds, optional)

1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (for added texture, optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch (or similar size) square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy, and no lumps remain.

      Fold in Extras: If desired, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and nuts into the yogurt mixture to add extra flair and texture.

        Spread the Mixture: Pour the peanut butter yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom of the dish.

          Freeze: Cover it with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until it becomes firm enough to cut into bars.

            Cut the Bars: Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the frozen yogurt block out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred serving size.

              Store or Serve: You can enjoy the bars immediately or transfer them to an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper, and store them in the freezer for later.

                Optional Drizzles: For a fun finishing touch, melt some additional dark chocolate and drizzle it over the top of the bars before cutting.
