They're perfect for:​

  • A quick snack between Zoom meetings

  • A healthier dessert option

  • A fun cooking activity with the kids​

Ingredients

Makes 12–15 bites

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

  • ⅓ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)​

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix the Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they're evenly distributed.​

2. Scoop and Shape

Line a plate or baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture onto the parchment paper for each bite. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or your fingers.​

3. Freeze

Place the bites in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until they're solid. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. If stacking, use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.​

4. Serve and Enjoy

Enjoy these bites straight from the freezer for a cool, creamy snack! Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 month.​

Tips for Success

  • Add a Pinch of Sea Salt: Sprinkling a little sea salt on top before freezing can enhance the flavors and add a delightful contrast.

  • Experiment with Nut Butters: Try using almond or cashew butter for a different flavor profile.

  • Healthier Crunch: Swap mini chocolate chips for cacao nibs to add a healthier crunch and a boost of antioxidants.​

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?

Absolutely! Flavored yogurts can add an extra layer of taste. Just be mindful of the added sugars.​

How can I make this recipe vegan?

Can I add other mix-ins?

Yes! Feel free to add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a sprinkle of granola for added texture and flavor.​
