How to Make Peanut Butter Yogurt Bark

Making Peanut Butter Yogurt Bark is a breeze, making it a fantastic choice for both novice bakers and those more experienced in the kitchen. Start by combining Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey or maple syrup in a mixing bowl until everything is smooth and creamy.

Next, you’ll want to line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the parchment, ensuring it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Then comes the fun part: sprinkle your choice of dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit on top for added texture and flavor. Finally, pop the baking sheet in the freezer and allow it to chill until completely frozen. When you’re ready, simply break it into pieces and store them in an airtight container for a quick snack!
