Create a healthy, creamy, and customizable frozen treat! You'll learn how to mix a yogurt base and decorate it with your favorite fruits and nuts to make a delicious 'bark' that snaps into bite-sized pieces.

Tools

• mixing bowl
• spoon or spatula
• baking sheet
• knife (for cutting fruit/bark)

Materials

• Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, 1 cup)
• honey or maple syrup (1.5 tbsp)
• vanilla extract (0.5 tsp)
• parchment paper (1 sheet, cut to fit baking tray)
• fresh strawberries (1/2 cup, sliced)
• fresh blueberries (1/4 cup)
• granola (2 tbsp)
• chocolate chips (1 tbsp)
• sliced almonds or walnuts (2 tbsp)

Safety

• Adult supervision required when using a knife to slice fruit or break the frozen bark.
• Ensure all hands and tools are washed thoroughly before handling food.
• Be careful when handling the baking sheet to avoid sharp edges.
• Adult supervision required for sharp objects.
• Adult supervision required for children under 8.

Steps

1. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper, making sure it covers the edges so the yogurt doesn't stick to the pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1.5 tablespoons of honey (or maple syrup), and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
3. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it is smooth and well combined.
4. Pour the yogurt mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Use a spoon or spatula to spread the yogurt evenly across the sheet. A thinner layer will freeze faster, while a thicker layer will melt slower.
6. Sprinkle your toppings (strawberries, blueberries, granola, chocolate chips, and nuts) over the top of the yogurt. You can create different sections with different toppings for variety.
7. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt is completely solid and hardened.
8. Remove the sheet from the freezer and carefully peel the frozen yogurt bark off the parchment paper.
9. Use your hands to break the bark into smaller, bite-sized pieces, or have an adult help you slice it with a knife.
10. Enjoy immediately or store the bites in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
