  • Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Yogurt Mixture

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup roasted salted peanuts

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring an even flavor throughout.
  2. Shape Bites: Using a spoon, drop 12 dollops of the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread each dollop slightly to form rounds the size of a cookie. Sprinkle each with roasted salted peanuts on top. Then freeze the tray for about 1 to 2 hours until the bites are completely solidified.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is fully melted, smooth, and glossy.
  4. Dip Bites: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. One at a time, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated with a smooth layer of chocolate.
  5. Add Toppings: While the chocolate coating is still wet, immediately sprinkle each bite with chopped roasted peanuts and a pinch of sea salt to add texture and flavor contrast.
  6. Final Freeze: Place the chocolate-coated bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an additional hour or until the chocolate shell is firm and set, ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure the yogurt mixture is sufficiently thick to hold shape when frozen; Greek yogurt is ideal for this reason.
  • The coconut oil helps the chocolate coating become smooth and shiny when melted and solidify well in the freezer.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste preferences.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them fresh and prevent freezer burn.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit peanuts.
