Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 cup crushed toffee bits

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (for topping)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, ensuring the sweetener is well incorporated.

    Add Chocolate Chips and Toffee: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, crushed toffee bits, and chopped walnuts (if using). Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture, but be careful not to over-mix.

      Line the Baking Pan: Take an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Allow some overhang on the sides for easy removal later, ensuring it fits snugly in the corners.

        Spread the Mixture: Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared pan. Using a spatula, spread it out evenly, smoothing the top for a clean and neat finish.

          Melt the Topping Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. This should take 1-2 minutes in total.

            Drizzle and Create a Marbled Effect: Carefully drizzle the melted chocolate over the yogurt mixture in the pan. For added flair, you can use a spatula or a knife to swirl the chocolate into the yogurt to create a marbled pattern.

              Freeze the Bars: Place the baking pan in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the entire mixture is completely solid.

                Cut and Serve: Once the yogurt block is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place it on a cutting board and, with a sharp knife, cut it into bars of your desired size—about 16 bars is standard.

                  Store: To keep any leftovers fresh, place them in an airtight container and store them in the freezer. Enjoy these bars directly from the freezer for a delightful, refreshing treat!
