Ingredients

  • 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)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips, for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
  • Optional toppings: crushed peanuts, sea salt flakes, shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Step 1: 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, reserving a few for topping if desired.
  2. Step 2: 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. Step 3: Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler on the stovetop.
  4. Step 4: 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. Step 5: Freeze the coated bites again for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
  6. Step 6: 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.

Tips & Variations

  • Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter to change the flavor profile.
  • Use plant-based yogurt and vegan chocolate chips for a dairy-free version.
  • Add chopped nuts or dried fruit into the yogurt mixture for added texture.
  • Make bite sizes smaller or larger depending on your preference for snacking.

Storage

Store the frozen bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for a creamy texture. Avoid thawing fully in the refrigerator to keep their ideal consistency.

How to Serve

The image shows nine round, creamy beige fudge pieces arranged neatly on a white plate that has a soft shine. Each piece has multiple dark brown chocolate chips sprinkled inside and on top, giving a rich contrast to the light fudge color. On top of each fudge piece, there is a swirl of caramel-colored drizzle that adds texture and depth, slightly glossy and thick. The plate is set on a white marbled surface that reflects soft natural light, highlighting the smooth and rich look of the fudge. The photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

While you can use flavored Greek yogurt, plain is recommended to balance the sweetness and let the peanut butter and chocolate flavors shine through.

How do I prevent the chocolate coating from melting too fast?

Make sure the yogurt bites are fully frozen before dipping and work quickly when coating with chocolate. Returning them immediately to the freezer helps the chocolate set firmly.
