Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional for a minty kick)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for topping)

A pinch of salt

Optional: crushed mint leaves for a refreshing garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, your choice of honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract if using. Add a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well-blended.

    Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chips into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout for a delightful chocolate burst in every bite.

      Line the Pan: Take an 8x8-inch square baking dish and line it with parchment paper. Allow some parchment to hang over the sides, which will aid in easy removal later.

        Spread the Mixture: Pour the yogurt-chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula, spread it evenly across the bottom of the dish to ensure uniform thickness.

          Top it Off: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips generously on top of the yogurt mixture, gently pressing them down to ensure they stick. If you want to enhance the flavors, scatter some crushed mint leaves on top for an extra layer of freshness.

            Freeze: Place the baking dish carefully in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours or until it is solid and fully set.

              Cut into Bars: Once frozen, lift the yogurt mixture out of the dish using the overhanging parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and, with a sharp knife, slice it into bars of your desired size.

                Serve: Enjoy these refreshing frozen yogurt bars immediately, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month for a quick treat anytime!
