Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup crushed peanuts

1/2 cup granola (your favorite blend)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Using a whisk or spatula, stir the mixture vigorously until it becomes creamy and well-blended, without any lumps.

    Incorporate Crunch: Carefully fold in the crushed peanuts, granola, and optional mini chocolate chips into the yogurt mixture. Use a spatula to gently combine, ensuring that the crunchy ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout the yogurt base.

      Prepare Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy release. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment, forming small clusters. Aim for clusters about the size of a golf ball for optimal snacking.

        Freeze the Clusters: Place the baking sheet with the clusters into the freezer. Allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once the clusters are fully frozen, gently remove them from the baking sheet and transfer to an airtight container. Serve immediately for a delightful treat or store them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for a quick snack.

            Optional Topping: For a decadent twist, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top of each cluster just before serving. Return them to the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
