Ingredients
For the Bites
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or full-fat, depending on preference)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a variation)
2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, optional)
For Coating
1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Optional Toppings
Crushed peanuts
Sea salt flakes
Shredded coconut
Instructions
1️⃣ In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, saving a few for topping if desired.
2️⃣ Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Place them on the baking sheet and gently flatten into disc shapes. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours until firm.
3️⃣ Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. You can also use a double boiler on the stovetop.
4️⃣ Remove the frozen discs from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Tap off the excess chocolate and return each coated bite to the parchment-lined baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with your choice of toppings such as crushed peanuts, sea salt flakes, or shredded coconut.
5️⃣ Freeze the coated bites again for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
6️⃣ Transfer the frozen bites to an airtight container and store them in the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving for a creamy, delicious texture.
Notes
You can swap out the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter to switch up the flavor. These bites make a great grab-and-go snack and can be customized with your favorite toppings. For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt and vegan chocolate chips.
