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
- Mix ingredients: 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.
- Form bites 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.
- Melt chocolate: 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.
- Coat bites in chocolate: 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.
- Set the chocolate: Freeze the coated bites again for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
- 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
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture, or nonfat for a lighter treat.
- Maple syrup can replace honey to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- Coconut oil is optional but helps create a smoother and shinier chocolate coating.
- Customize toppings to your preference or omit for simpler bites.
- 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 for best texture.
