Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for flavor)

1/2 cup smooth creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (sweetness can be adjusted to preference)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for an extra chocolatey topping)

Mini muffin liners or silicone molds for shaping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Molds: If you're using a mini muffin tin, line it with mini muffin liners. For silicone molds, arrange them on a sturdy tray that can be easily placed in the freezer for convenience.

    Create the Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a whisk or spatula to blend these ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer: In a separate bowl, slightly warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. This will make it easier to mix. Add 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture to the warmed peanut butter and stir until well incorporated.

        Fill the Molds with Yogurt: Using a spoon, place about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture into each prepared muffin liner or silicone mold. Spread it evenly across the bottom with the back of the spoon for a smooth base.

          Add the Peanut Butter Layer: On top of the yogurt layer in each cup, add approximately 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture. You can use a skewer or a toothpick to lightly swirl it into the yogurt, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

            Top Off with More Yogurt: Finish each cup by adding another tablespoon of the yogurt mixture on top, ensuring that the peanut butter layer is completely covered. Gently tap the tray on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles trapped inside.

              Optional Chocolate Topping: If you're opting for a chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it's fully melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each cup as an indulgent finishing touch.

                Freeze the Cups: Carefully transfer the tray to the freezer. Allow the cups to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are solid throughout.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, gently remove the cups from the liners or molds. You can enjoy them right away, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
