Ingredients
  

2 cups seedless grapes (your choice of color for variety)

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain for a subtle flavor or flavored for a sweeter touch)

2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup (for natural sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for added richness)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (such as almonds or pistachios) or granola for a delightful crunch

A pinch of sea salt (optional, to enhance flavors)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Grapes: Start by rinsing the seedless grapes under cold water. Using a paper towel, gently pat them dry to ensure they are moisture-free. This step is crucial as it helps the yogurt cling to the grapes effectively.

    Mix the Yogurt Dip: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and the optional vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spoon to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated.

      Skewer the Grapes: Grab wooden skewers or toothpicks for bite-sized portions. Thread the grapes onto the skewers, creating a delightful pattern. Leave a small gap between each grape to promote even freezing.

        Coat in Yogurt: Carefully dip each skewer of grapes into your yogurt mixture, ensuring that each grape is generously coated. After dipping, allow any excess yogurt to drip back into the bowl.

          Add Crunch: While the yogurt coating is still wet, sprinkle the crushed nuts or granola over the grapes, pressing slightly to help them adhere. If you like a sweet-savory contrast, add a light sprinkle of sea salt to taste.

            Freeze the Skewers: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the yogurt-coated grape skewers onto it. Transfer the sheet to the freezer and let the skewers freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Serve: Once the skewers are frozen, take them out of the freezer. You can enjoy them immediately or transfer them to a zip-lock bag for a chilled snack option later. These colorful treats are perfect for parties or a refreshing summer treat!
