Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey

1 cup walnuts, chopped

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Walnut Mixture: In a small skillet, toast the chopped walnuts over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir frequently until they turn golden and release a nutty aroma. Once toasted, remove from heat and let them cool completely.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Using a spatula or whisk, mix until all the ingredients are nicely combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Incorporate Walnuts: Gently fold the toasted walnuts into the yogurt mixture. Remember to set aside about 2 tablespoons of walnuts for topping your Delight Bites later.

        Shape the Rounds: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming round shapes. Ensure that they are spaced at least an inch apart, as they will puff up slightly during freezing.

          Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the mixture to freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the rounds are completely solid.

            Drizzle (Optional): If you choose to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips by microwaving them in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session, until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler for melting. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each frozen yogurt round just before serving for a decadent touch.

              Serve: Take the rounds from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly, which makes them easier to eat. Before serving, garnish each bite with the reserved walnuts and a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
