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
- Prepare the mixture: In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended. Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping if you like.
- Shape and freeze: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Place them on the sheet and gently flatten each into a disc shape. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours until firm.
- Melt the chocolate coating: Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Dip 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 excess chocolate and place the coated bites back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. While still wet, sprinkle with your chosen optional toppings like crushed peanuts, sea salt flakes, or shredded coconut.
- Set the coating: Freeze the coated bites again for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
- Store and serve: Transfer the frozen bites to an airtight container and store in the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving to achieve a creamy, delicious texture.
Notes
- You can swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter to vary the flavor.
- Customize with your favorite toppings like crushed nuts, sea salt, or shredded coconut.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and vegan chocolate chips.
- These bites make an excellent grab-and-go healthy snack.
- Allow the bites to soften briefly at room temperature before eating for optimal creaminess.
