Ingredients You’ll Need for Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites

To get started on this delicious journey, gather the following simple ingredients:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
8 oz dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Flaky sea salt for topping

Let’s Make It Together

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and well combined. The mixture will be creamy and oh-so-inviting!
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You’ll want these bites to be about the size of a tablespoon.
Freeze the yogurt bites for at least 2 hours or until completely firm and solid to the touch. Be patient; the freezing process is what makes them amazing!
Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. The chocolate should be perfectly glossy and ready to coat.
Working quickly, dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage, then place back on the parchment-lined sheet. It’s a messy but fun endeavor—don’t worry if some chocolate drips!
Immediately sprinkle each chocolate-coated bite with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet, then freeze for another 30 minutes until the chocolate is set. This step adds a delightful contrast of flavors.

Delish Variations to Try

Nutty Twist: Add some chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts to the yogurt mixture for an added crunch.
Flavorful Swaps: Swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter for a new twist on flavors and to accommodate nut allergies.
Fruity Boost: Fold in bits of your favorite dried fruits, like cranberries or bananas, into the yogurt mixture for a hint of sweetness.
Decadent Drizzle: Once the chocolate is set, drizzle some caramel or white chocolate on top for an indulgent finish that’s sure to wow!
