Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Prepare the Mixture: 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.
  2. Shape and Freeze: 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.
  3. Melt Chocolate Coating: Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop for melting.
  4. Coat the Bites: 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.
  5. Freeze to Set: Freeze the coated bites again for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
  6. Store and Serve: 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

  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use almond butter instead of peanut butter.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture.
  • If mini chocolate chips are unavailable, chop regular chocolate into small pieces.
  • Adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate helps achieve a smoother coating and faster setting.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • Allow bites to soften slightly at room temperature before eating to enhance creamy texture.
