Ingredients

  • 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% for best texture)
  • 1 cup Natural peanut butter (oil-separated, stirred smooth)
  • 2-3 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (use pure for best flavor)
  • 1 pinch Sea salt (enhances flavor and balances sweetness)
  • Optional: 2-3 tablespoons Mini chocolate chips
  • Optional: Melted dark chocolate (for dipping or drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (for smoother melted chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
  2. Step 2: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, if using, to evenly distribute them without breaking.
  3. Step 3: Using a small cookie scoop, spoon the mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined mini muffin tray.
  4. Step 4: Freeze the filled molds uncovered for 30 minutes, then cover and freeze until firm, about 2–3 hours.
  5. Step 5: Optional: Dip or drizzle the frozen bites with melted dark chocolate mixed with coconut oil, then return to the freezer for 10–15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Tips & Variations

  • For sweeter bites, increase the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture that holds up well when frozen.
  • Add chopped nuts or shredded coconut for extra texture.
  • Try using almond or cashew butter instead of peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
  • To make the chocolate coating smoother, melt the dark chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil.

Storage

Store the frozen bites in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Keep them in the freezer for up to 2–3 weeks. Before serving, let them thaw briefly for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly; avoid microwaving to maintain the texture.
