Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups pretzel sticks

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

⅓ cup brown sugar

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

½ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious bite-sized treat.

    Prepare the Pretzel Base: In a mixing bowl, crush the pretzel sticks into small, uneven pieces. Aim for a coarser texture, as we want some crunch. Pour in the melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar. Stir thoroughly until all pretzel pieces are coated evenly.

      Form the Base: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Evenly distribute the pretzel mixture across the sheet, pressing it down firmly to form a compact base. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture turns golden brown. Once baked, take it out and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.

        Make the Yogurt Filling: In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend the mixture until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.

          Incorporate the Strawberries: Gently fold the diced strawberries into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout. If you desire extra sweetness and texture, feel free to fold in the mini chocolate chips at this stage.

            Assemble the Bites: Once the pretzel base has cooled, cut it into bite-sized squares or bars. Generously spoon the yogurt and strawberry filling over each pretzel piece, allowing the vibrant filling to spill slightly over the edges for a delightful presentation.

              Freeze: Place the assembled bites in the freezer and allow them to chill for at least 3-4 hours, or until the yogurt filling is set and firm.

                Serve: After freezing, carefully pop the bites out of the pan and sprinkle a light pinch of sea salt atop each one. This adds a perfect touch of sweet-and-salty flavor that elevates each bite. Enjoy your Strawberry Pretzel Bliss Bites straight from the freezer for a refreshing treat!
