Ingredients
  

For the Mint Yogurt Layer:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your preferred sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract

1-2 drops of green food coloring (optional, for color)

For the Chocolate Layer:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

For Garnish:

Mini chocolate chips or crushed mint candies (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mint Yogurt Layer:

    - In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt, along with 1/3 cup of honey (or maple syrup), 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring if you're using it.

      - Mix thoroughly with a spatula or whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste the blend and modify the sweetness or mintiness to your liking.

        Prepare the Chocolate Layer:

          - In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of honey (or maple syrup), 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

            - Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is creamy and free from lumps, ensuring a smooth consistency.

              Layering the Pops:

                - Take your popsicle mold and carefully spoon in the mint yogurt mixture, filling each cavity about halfway. Use a spoon or offset spatula to smooth the surface.

                  - Following the mint layer, gently add the chocolate yogurt mixture on top, filling the molds to the top.

                    - To create a beautiful marbled effect, take a skewer or a toothpick and gently swirl the two layers together – just a few twists is enough!

                      Insert Sticks and Freeze:

                        - Place pop sticks into each mold, ensuring they are positioned upright. Move the molds into the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

                          Unmold and Garnish:

                            - Once frozen, carefully run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds to ease the pops out. Gently tug to release the pops.

                              - If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or some crushed mint candies over the tops of the pops before serving for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

                                Serve:

                                  - Serve your Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Mint Swirl Pops immediately and indulge in this refreshing, homemade treat!
