Tips & Variations

• Swap maple syrup with honey or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile.
• Use dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao for a richer taste and less sugar.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture for extra flavor.
• To make it vegan, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
• For smaller bites, scoop the mixture into mini muffin liners before freezing.

Storage

Store the frozen peanut butter yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to eat, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Avoid refreezing once thawed to maintain texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of powdered peanut butter?

Yes, but powdered peanut butter reduces the fat and helps keep the bites firmer. Using only regular peanut butter may result in a softer texture.

How long do these bites last in the freezer?

They stay fresh for up to 2 weeks when stored properly in an airtight container. For best taste and texture, consume within this period.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

Chocolate Coating

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Topping (Optional)

• Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

1. Mix the yogurt and peanut butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the full fat Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, ensuring there are no lumps.
2. Form and freeze the bites: Line a plate or small tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon or small scoop, portion the mixture into about six evenly sized bites and place them on the lined tray. Freeze the bites for 10–20 minutes until they become firm enough to handle.
3. Melt the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in short bursts of about 15-20 seconds, stirring thoroughly between each burst, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
4. Coat the frozen bites: Remove the yogurt bites from the freezer and quickly dip each one into the melted chocolate to coat evenly. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each coated bite to enhance the flavor.
5. Set the chocolate: Place the chocolate-coated bites back onto the parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set and firm to the touch. Once set, the bites are ready to enjoy or store for later snacking.

Notes

• Be sure the yogurt bites are fully frozen before dipping in chocolate to prevent melting.
• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture and creaminess.
• You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
• If you want a dairy-free variation, choose a plant-based Greek-style yogurt.
• Store the finished bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
• For an extra crunch, sprinkle crushed nuts or cocoa nibs on top before the chocolate sets.
