Ingredients
  

12 mini waffle cones

1 cup of peanut butter (or your choice of nut butter for a nut-free option)

1 cup of your favorite granola mix

1 cup of mini chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)

1 cup of assorted fruits (such as sliced strawberries, banana coins, or blueberries)

1 cup of yogurt (vanilla or Greek yogurt for an added protein boost)

2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

Sprinkles or shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Cones: Start by positioning the mini waffle cones upright in a muffin tin or on a flat surface. This will ensure they remain stable while you fill them.

    Mix the Yogurt Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt with honey or maple syrup, if desired. Stir the mixture well until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Layer the Peanut Butter: Begin by adding a generous spoonful of peanut butter to the bottom of each cone. This creates a delicious base that will complement the other ingredients.

        Add Granola: Carefully scoop granola into each cone, filling them about halfway. Be mindful not to overfill to ensure there's ample space for the additional layers.

          Incorporate the Fruits: Next, layer an assortment of fruits on top of the granola. This colorful addition will not only enhance the visual appeal but also provide a burst of freshness.

            Top with Yogurt: Spoon a layer of the yogurt mixture over the fruit. This step not only adds flavor but also helps bind the layers together beautifully.

              Finish with Chocolate and Garnish: To complete the assembly, sprinkle mini chocolate chips generously over the yogurt layer. For an extra fun touch, add some colorful sprinkles or shredded coconut.

                Chill Before Serving: Place the filled cones in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to blend and the yogurt to firm up slightly, making them easier to enjoy.

                    - Presentation Tips: Arrange the cones on a colorful platter and garnish with fresh fruit on the side. Consider using a little extra yogurt as a dip for added charm!
