Ingredients You’ll Need

These ingredients are wonderfully simple yet play key roles in creating the perfect texture and flavor in your Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bites. Each one brings something special, from the creaminess of the Greek yogurt to the silky smoothness of melted chocolate.

1 cup Greek yogurt: This provides a creamy, tangy base with a thick texture that freezes beautifully.
2 tbsp maple syrup: A natural sweetener that complements the peanut butter’s nuttiness while keeping things wholesome.
2 tbsp peanut butter: Adds rich, nutty flavor and a luscious, protein-packed creaminess.
1/4 cup roasted (salted) peanuts: These bring a satisfying crunch and salty contrast that wakes up your taste buds.
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips: For coating the bites in decadent, bittersweet chocolate magic.
1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil: Helps melt the chocolate smoothly and gives the coating a nice shine.
Sea salt: A pinch sprinkled on top enhances all the flavors and adds a gourmet touch.

How to Make Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bites

Step 1: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture

Start by combining the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and peanut butter in a bowl. Stir them together until you have a smooth, creamy mixture that promises a perfect blend of sweet and nutty flavors in every bite.

Step 2: Shape the Bites

Using a spoon, drop about 12 dollops of the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread each dollop slightly to resemble a cookie shape. Then, sprinkle the roasted peanuts over the top for an added crunch. Pop them into your freezer and let them solidify for 1 to 2 hours.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

While the bites firm up, place your dark chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until you get a glossy, smooth chocolate perfect for dipping your frozen bites.

Step 4: Dip the Bites in Chocolate

Once the yogurt bites are fully frozen, carefully remove them from the freezer. One by one, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, making sure every inch is covered with that indulgent dark chocolate coating.

Step 5: Add Toppings

While the chocolate is still soft and wet, immediately sprinkle additional chopped peanuts and a pinch of sea salt over each bite. These small touches elevate the flavor profile and add that irresistible crunch and salty bite.

Step 6: Final Freeze

Place the chocolate-covered bites back onto the parchment-lined sheet. Freeze them again for about an hour or until the chocolate has fully set. Then your Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bites are ready to enjoy!

How to Serve Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bites

Garnishes

Enhance your frozen bites by garnishing them with extra roasted peanuts or a gentle drizzle of melted peanut butter for added visual appeal and flavor contrast. A light sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top just before serving also brightens the taste beautifully.

Side Dishes

Pair these bites with fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries to add a juicy, refreshing counterpoint. For a more indulgent spread, serve alongside a small bowl of extra dark chocolate sauce or your favorite nut butters for dipping.

Creative Ways to Present

Serve Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bites on a wooden board with scattered peanuts and small bowls of dipping sauces for an inviting dessert platter. Alternatively, stack them on colorful skewers or arrange them in mini cupcake liners for parties or gatherings—they’re sure to steal the show.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Place any leftover bites in an airtight container lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Keep them in the freezer where they will stay fresh and delicious for up to two weeks.

Freezing

These bites freeze wonderfully and are best enjoyed straight from the freezer for that perfect chilled, creamy texture. Just be sure to let them freeze completely before dipping and again after coating with chocolate for the best results.

Reheating

Since Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bites are designed to be a frozen treat, reheating is not recommended. Instead, allow them to soften at room temperature for a few minutes if you prefer a slightly creamier, less icy bite.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

While you can, Greek yogurt is preferred for its thicker texture and higher protein content, which helps the bites hold their shape better when frozen.

Is it okay to use crunchy peanut butter?

Absolutely! Using crunchy peanut butter will add even more texture, making your Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bites extra delightful with little peanut bits inside.

Can I substitute the maple syrup with honey or another sweetener?

Yes, honey or agave syrup can work well, just keep in mind they may slightly alter the final flavor of the bites.

How long do these bites keep in the freezer?

If stored properly in an airtight container, Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bites will stay delicious for up to two weeks in the freezer.

What is the best type of chocolate to use for coating?

Dark chocolate chips are ideal because their bittersweet flavor pairs beautifully with peanut butter and yogurt, but feel free to experiment with milk or semi-sweet chocolate depending on your taste preferences.

Final Thoughts

These Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bites are a wonderfully simple yet indulgently tasty treat that anyone can whip up with ease. They are perfect for beating those afternoon cravings or impressing friends with a homemade dessert that feels both healthy and decadent. Give this recipe a try, and I promise it will quickly become one of your favorite sweet snacks to reach for over and over again!

Ingredients

Scale

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, to sprinkle

Instructions

Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Shape Bites: Using a spoon, drop 12 dollops of the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread each dollop slightly to resemble the size of a cookie. Sprinkle the tops evenly with roasted salted peanuts. Place the sheet in the freezer and let the bites freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until they are firm and solid.
Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly each time, until the chocolate is melted completely and smooth.
Dip Bites: Take the frozen yogurt bites out of the freezer. One by one, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, coating it fully with a smooth layer.
Add Toppings: Immediately after dipping, sprinkle the coated bites with additional chopped peanuts and a small pinch of sea salt while the chocolate is still wet, to add texture and flavor.
Final Freeze: Return the chocolate-coated bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 more hour, or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.

Notes

For a nut-free option, substitute peanut butter and peanuts with sunflower seed butter and seeds.
Use unsweetened Greek yogurt for lower sugar content.
The bites can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
To melt chocolate smoothly, avoid overheating; stirring between intervals prevents burning.
Adjust sea salt quantity according to taste preference.
