Ingredients

Base Mixture

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 8 oz dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Topping

  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Mix Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined, ensuring an even flavor throughout.
  2. Form Yogurt Bites: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture into bite-sized balls. Place these balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  3. Freeze Until Firm: Freeze the yogurt bites for at least 2 hours or until they are completely firm and solid to the touch, which will help them hold their shape during the chocolate coating process.
  4. Melt Chocolate Coating: Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals. Stir between each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  5. Coat Yogurt Bites: Working quickly, dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Place the coated bites back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  6. Add Flaky Sea Salt and Set: Immediately sprinkle flaky sea salt on each chocolate-coated bite while the chocolate is still wet. Return the bites to the freezer for another 30 minutes until the chocolate sets firmly.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for a healthier option.
  • If desired, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Store the finished yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness and firmness.
  • To easily portion the bites, chilling the mixture slightly before scooping can help maintain shape.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a richer taste and better health benefits.
