How to Make Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Bark
Step 1: Prep the Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 2: Make the Yogurt Base
In a large bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and cocoa powder until smooth.
Fold in 1 cup of chocolate granola.
Step 3: Spread and Top
Spread the yogurt mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet to about ¼-inch thickness.
Scatter the sliced strawberries and remaining ¼ cup of granola over the top.
Press gently into the yogurt.
Step 4: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals (up to 1 minute), stirring after each burst until glossy and smooth.
Step 5: Drizzle and Freeze
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bark.
Transfer the pan to the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
Step 6: Break and Store
Remove the frozen bark from the sheet and break it into pieces.
Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and store until ready to enjoy.
