Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or PB2)
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter, 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter, and 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to portion the yogurt mixture into around 6 evenly sized bites on the prepared surface. Place the tray in the freezer for 10-20 minutes or until the bites feel solid to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites freeze, melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips together with 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Use a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler, stirring regularly until smooth and fully liquified.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Remove the frozen yogurt bites and dip each thoroughly into the melted chocolate. After dipping, optionally sprinkle each bite with flaky sea salt to enhance flavor. Place the chocolate-coated bites in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: Once the chocolate has set, the bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a thicker chocolate shell, double dip the bites by repeating the chocolate coating step after the first coat sets.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor; adjust quantities for preference.
- Store bites in an airtight container in the fridge to prevent moisture build-up.
- Can be customized with your favorite nut butters or sweeteners.
