Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Swirl
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
Toppings and Mix-Ins (optional)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., walnuts, almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, hemp seeds)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by mixing the Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will form the sweet yet tangy base that contrasts beautifully with the peanut butter and chocolate.
- Swirl in the Peanut Butter: Warm the peanut butter slightly to make it easier to swirl. Then, dollop it onto the yogurt mixture and gently swirl it in to create a marbled effect—this not only looks appealing but ensures every bite has a bit of that rich nutty taste.
- Add Chocolate and Mix-Ins: Scatter dark chocolate chips and any nuts, seeds, or other desired toppings over the yogurt and peanut butter base. Don’t be shy—add as many as you like for flavor and texture.
- Spread and Freeze: Layer the mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading it to about a quarter-inch thickness. Pop the tray into the freezer and let it chill for at least 2 hours or until completely firm.
- Break into Pieces and Enjoy: Once frozen solid, remove the bark from the tray and break it into shards or bite-sized pieces. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for a quick snack anytime.
Notes
- Use Greek Yogurt Cold: Keep yogurt chilled before mixing to help it set better after freezing.
- Choose Natural Peanut Butter: It blends more seamlessly and tastes less processed.
- Line Your Pan: Using parchment paper makes removing the bark easy and mess-free.
- Don’t Over-Mix: When swirling the peanut butter, keep it light to maintain beautiful patterns and textures.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste before freezing and add more honey or syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
