Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your choice for sweetness)

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup finely chopped pecans

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for added flavor and warmth

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if you choose to use it). Using a whisk or spatula, mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well-blended and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

    Add Pecans: Gently fold in the finely chopped pecans using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want the pecans to be evenly dispersed without breaking them down too much.

      Mold the Bites: Take your mini muffin tin and line it with paper or silicone liners to prevent sticking. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, fill each liner with the yogurt and pecan mixture. Press down slightly on each scoop to compact the mixture, ensuring the bites will hold their shape once frozen.

        Freeze the Bites: Carefully place the muffin tin in the freezer, allowing the bites to freeze for at least 2 hours or until they are firm and completely frozen throughout.

          Melt the Chocolate: In a small saucepan, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat the mixture over low heat while stirring continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the chocolate to cool for a few minutes.

            Coat the Bites: With the yogurt bites now frozen, gently remove them from the muffin tin, taking care not to break them. Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated in chocolate. Place the coated bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

              Chill Again: After coating, return the chocolate-covered bites to the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate shell has completely set and hardened.

                Serve and Enjoy: Your Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Pecan Bites are now ready to delight your taste buds! Serve them immediately, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for future enjoyment.
