Ingredients:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Directions:
Step 1: Preparation
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth.
Step 2: Mixing
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the bites from sticking and make clean-up a breeze.

Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop small amounts of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for small, bite-sized dollops for easier snacking.
Step 4: Topping
If desired, sprinkle with chocolate chips or chopped nuts. This adds an extra layer of flavor and crunch to your bites.
Step 5: Freezing
Freeze for about 2-3 hours or until firm. This is the fun part—watching them turn from creamy blobs into delightful frozen treats!
Step 6: Storing
Once frozen, remove from the baking sheet and store in an airtight container. Enjoy as a snack whenever you need a sweet pick-me-up!
