Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, based on preference)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup shelled roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup granola (choose your favorite flavor for added flair)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for a sweet touch)

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a whisk to mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well integrated.

    Mix in the Crunch: Carefully fold in the coarsely chopped roasted peanuts, the granola, and mini chocolate chips (if including) with a spatula. Gently stir until all components are evenly mixed throughout the yogurt base, making sure not to overmix to keep the crunch intact.

      Shape the Rounds: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion out the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating round servings about 1.5 inches in diameter. Aim for consistent sizes to enhance the visual appeal and ensure even freezing.

        Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the rounds to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely solid and firm to the touch.

          Serve: Once fully frozen, gently peel the rounds off the parchment paper. Serve immediately for a delightful snack or transfer them to an airtight container for storage in the freezer. Enjoy these tasty treats whenever a craving for something sweet and satisfying strikes!
