Frozen Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites (Print)

Creamy peanut butter and Greek yogurt frozen into chocolate-coated bites with flaky sea salt—sweet, salty freezer treats.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
03 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Chocolate Coating

05 - 7 ounces dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
06 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil, optional for smoother coating

→ Topping

07 - Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

# How To Make:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and uniformly blended.
03 - Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion heaping teaspoons of the peanut butter-yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. You should get approximately 24 small mounds.
04 - Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm and solid throughout.
05 - Near the end of the freezing time, place the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
06 - Remove the frozen bites from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each frozen bite into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return each coated bite to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
07 - Immediately sprinkle the top of each chocolate-coated bite with flaky sea salt before the chocolate begins to set.
08 - Return the coated bites to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is completely firm to the touch.
09 - Transfer the finished bites to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. Serve directly from the freezer or allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes for a slightly softer texture.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You will always have something sweet waiting for you in the freezer that actually tastes better than store bought candy.
  • The contrast between the tangy yogurt peanut butter center and the crisp dark chocolate shell is genuinely addictive.
  • They require zero baking and almost zero skill, which means you can make them at midnight in your pajamas without thinking too hard.
02 -
  • If the filling mixture seems too soft to hold its shape, refrigerate the bowl for fifteen minutes before scooping and it will firm up nicely.
  • Work in small batches when dipping because frozen bites thaw quickly in your hands and the chocolate will not set properly on a warm surface.
03 -
  • Use a fork rather than your fingers to dip because it lets the excess chocolate drain through the tines and gives you a cleaner looking bite with less mess.
  • Double the batch because you will regret making only twenty four of these once you taste the first one.
