Ingredients
For the Bites:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or full-fat)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
For the Coating:
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Optional Toppings:
- Crushed peanuts
- Sea salt flakes
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Base:
In a bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
2️⃣ Shape and Freeze:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the sheet and flatten slightly into discs. Freeze for 1–2 hours until firm.
3️⃣ Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using), stirring until smooth.
4️⃣ Dip the Bites:
Remove frozen yogurt discs from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each disc in melted chocolate, let excess drip off, and return to the baking sheet. Add toppings while chocolate is still wet.
5️⃣ Freeze Again:
Place the dipped bites back in the freezer for 15–20 minutes, until the chocolate shell is set.
6️⃣ Store and Serve:
Transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen. Let sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Greek Yogurt Texture Tip:
Full-fat Greek yogurt gives a creamier result, while nonfat keeps it lighter. Strain the yogurt further with cheesecloth if you want a thicker base. - Peanut Butter Substitute:
Almond butter or sunflower seed butter works great for a nut-free or flavor variation.
Sweetener Options:
Maple syrup makes these bites vegan-friendly. You can also try agave or a low-carb sweetener like monk fruit for keto-friendly bites.
