Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies (optional, for garnish)

1/4 cup cocoa powder

Pinch of salt

Non-stick cooking spray (for the pan)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease a rectangular baking dish (about 9x5 inches) with non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, line the dish with parchment paper for easier removal.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), peppermint extract, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

      Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mix.

        Pour and Spread: Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, ensuring the surface is as flat as possible.

          Optional Garnish: If you'd like a touch of extra crunch and festive flair, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the top of the mixture.

            Freeze: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the yogurt is fully set and firm.

              Cut into Wedges: Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes for easier slicing. Use a sharp knife to cut the frozen yogurt into wedges or bars.

                Serve: Serve immediately or store the wedges in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy your refreshing, homemade frozen yogurt chocolate mint wedges!
