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.
