Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
