Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- 8 oz dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Topping
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Mix Base: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and well combined. This creates the creamy base for the bites.
- Shape Bites: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare them for freezing.
- Initial Freeze: Freeze the yogurt bites for at least 2 hours or until they are completely firm and solid to the touch, ensuring easy dipping later.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip and Coat: Working quickly to prevent melting, dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, making sure each bite is fully coated, then place them back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Final Touch: Immediately sprinkle each chocolate-coated bite with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet, then freeze for another 30 minutes until the chocolate sets firmly.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugars for the healthiest option.
- Ensure yogurt bites are completely frozen before dipping to prevent melting.
- You can substitute dark chocolate chips with semi-sweet or milk chocolate if preferred.
- Store the bites in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Allow bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for a softer texture.
