Ingredients
-
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
-
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
-
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate (melted, for coating)

Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Scoop and shape: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion out bite-sized amounts of the mixture. Roll into balls or shape them into small, flat discs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Freeze the bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the bites freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
-
Coat in chocolate: Melt the chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler. Dip each frozen bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place back on the parchment paper.
-
Optional topping: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for added flavor.
-
Freeze again: Return the bites to the freezer for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate is set, your frozen peanut butter Greek yogurt bites are ready to enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1-2 weeks.
