3. Step 3: Spread the yogurt mixture evenly onto the parchment-lined baking sheet to your desired thickness.
4. Step 4: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments and stirring until smooth.
5. Step 5: Dollop the melted chocolate onto the yogurt layer, then gently swirl it in with a toothpick or skewer for a marbled effect.

8. Step 8: Once frozen, cut the bark into pieces of your preferred size. Store the pieces in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Enjoy chilled!

Tips & Variations

• For a nut-free option, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or almond butter.
• Try adding dried fruit such as cranberries or raisins for extra sweetness and texture.
• Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor and less sweetness.
• To make cleanup easier, freeze the bark directly on parchment paper that fits your baking sheet.

Storage

Store the Greek yogurt bark pieces in an airtight freezer bag or container in the freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to eat, you can enjoy them straight from the freezer or let them thaw for a few minutes for a softer texture. Avoid storing at room temperature as the yogurt will soften and spoil quickly.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

Yes, you can use flavored Greek yogurt, but it may change the overall sweetness and flavor balance of the bark. Plain yogurt allows better control over sweetness and highlights the peanut butter and chocolate flavors.

How thick should I spread the yogurt mixture?

Spread the yogurt mixture evenly to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Thinner layers freeze faster and yield more bark pieces, while thicker layers make chunkier pieces but take longer to freeze.
