Delicious and refreshing Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites with Chocolate Chips are a perfect healthy treat that combines creamy Greek yogurt, rich peanut butter, and melty chocolate. These bite-sized snacks are easy to make, gluten-free, and great for satisfying sweet cravings without the guilt.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Bites

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or full-fat, depending on preference)
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a variation)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, optional)

For Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

Optional Toppings

  • Crushed peanuts
  • Sea salt flakes
  • Shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, saving a few for topping if desired.
  2. Shape and Freeze: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Place them on the baking sheet and gently flatten into disc shapes. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours until firm.
  3. Melt Chocolate Coating: Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt chocolate in a double boiler on the stovetop.
  4. Dip and Decorate: Remove the frozen discs from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Tap off excess chocolate and return each coated bite to the parchment-lined baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with your choice of toppings such as crushed peanuts, sea salt flakes, or shredded coconut.
  5. Final Freeze: Freeze the coated bites again for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
  6. Store and Serve: Transfer the frozen bites to an airtight container and store them in the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving for a creamy, delicious texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or other nut butters for variety.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey to make this recipe vegan.
  • Coconut oil helps the chocolate melt smoothly and harden with a shiny finish but is optional.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
  • Allow bites to soften at room temperature a few minutes before eating for best texture.
  • These bites are naturally gluten-free and can be adapted to various dietary preferences.
