This drizzling step adds a rich taste and a pretty look. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly on your prepared sheet. Make it about 1/2 inch thick. Next, drizzle the melted chocolate over the yogurt. Use a spatula or a toothpick to swirl it around. Now, add 1 cup of sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup of chopped nuts. Gently press them down with a spoon. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes for extra flavor. Place the baking sheet in the freezer. Let it freeze for about 4-6 hours. You want it to be completely solid. Once frozen, take it out and let it sit for a few minutes. This makes it easier to break. Then, cut it into pieces or break it apart. Serve it on a nice platter and enjoy your tasty treat! You can make this treat your own. Try using different fruits like bananas or blueberries. You can also swap out the chocolate. White chocolate or milk chocolate works well too. If you want more crunch, add seeds like pumpkin or sunflower. For a tropical twist, use coconut flakes instead of nuts. Just have fun with your choices!

Storage Tips: Store the bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Layer pieces with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Try bananas, blueberries, or raspberries. Each fruit gives a new taste. For a tropical twist, use mango or pineapple. Just ensure the fruit is fresh and ripe. This makes every bite juicy and sweet. While dark chocolate is popular, you can use milk or white chocolate. Milk chocolate adds a creamier taste. White chocolate gives a sweeter touch.

These flavors mix well with yogurt. You can also sprinkle in spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. For a crunch, try crushed graham crackers or granola. These extras make your bark unique and fun.
