Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or your preferred yogurt)

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (if using frozen, ensure they are thawed and drained of excess liquid)

1 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans), roughly chopped

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Cooking spray or parchment paper to line the baking sheet

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Begin by preheating your freezer. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent the mixture from sticking.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a spatula or whisk to stir the mixture until it is smooth and uniformly combined.

      Incorporate the Add-ins: Gently fold in the cranberries and the chopped mixed nuts. Use a spatula to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture without breaking up the cranberries.

        Shape the Clusters: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, create clusters of the mixture and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between each cluster, as they may spread slightly while freezing.

          Freeze the Clusters: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for at least 4 hours or until they are completely firm and solid.

            Serve and Store: Once the bites are fully frozen, gently remove them from the baking sheet and transfer them to an airtight container. Store them in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy. For a delightful treat, serve the bites straight from the freezer.

              Prep Time, Total Time, Servings: 15 minutes | 4 hours (freezing time) | Makes approximately 24 clusters.

                Presentation Tips: To enhance the visual appeal, serve the Cranberry Nut Bliss Bites in individual bowls or on a decorative tray. Garnish with a few additional cranberries and nuts for an attractive touch!
