Dear Lykkers! Check it out and let’s talk about all things grapes!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup seedless grapes (red or green)

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (you can also use flavored yogurt for added sweetness)

• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped nuts (optional, for topping)

• 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Steps:

1. Prep the Grapes: Start by washing the grapes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove any stems and set the grapes aside.

2. Mix the Yogurt: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, if using. Stir until well blended. This will add a touch of sweetness and flavor to the yogurt.

3. Dip the Grapes: Dip each grape into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. You can use a fork or a toothpick to help with the dipping process.

4. Add Toppings (Optional): If you like, sprinkle a few finely chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips on top of each yogurt-coated grape. This adds extra texture and flavor.

5. Freeze the Grapes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange the yogurt-coated grapes in a single layer on the sheet. Make sure they are not touching each other to prevent sticking.

6. Chill and Serve: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the grapes to freeze for at least 2 hours or until the yogurt is firm. Once frozen, transfer the grape bites to a resealable plastic bag or airtight container for storage.

Storing Frozen Grape and Yogurt Bites:

• In the Freezer: Keep the frozen grape bites in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. They will stay fresh for up to 3 months. This makes them a perfect make-ahead snack option.
