Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is strongly recommended because it is thick and low in moisture, which lets the bites freeze into a creamy, stable center rather than an icy one. Regular yogurt holds far more water and will freeze harder and icier, and the mixture will be too loose to scoop into neat bites. If you only have regular yogurt, strain it through a cheesecloth for a few hours first to thicken it up before using.

What kind of peanut butter is best for these bites?

A smooth, well-stirred peanut butter works best because it blends easily into the yogurt for a creamy filling. Both natural and conventional peanut butter work, just be sure to stir natural peanut butter well so the oil is fully incorporated. Crunchy peanut butter is fine too if you like a little texture in the center, and you can swap in almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.

Why do I need coconut oil in the chocolate?

The coconut oil thins the melted chocolate so it coats the frozen bites in a smooth, even layer and sets into a glossy, snappy shell. Without it, the chocolate can be thick, dull, and prone to cracking. If you do not have coconut oil, a neutral oil works in a pinch.

How long do chocolate peanut butter yogurt bites last in the freezer?

Stored in an airtight container in the freezer, these bites keep well for up to 2 months. Place parchment paper between layers so they do not stick together. They are best enjoyed straight from the freezer, since the yogurt center softens quickly at room temperature.

Are chocolate peanut butter yogurt bites healthy?

These bites lean on whole, simple ingredients like protein-rich Greek yogurt and peanut butter, with just a thin shell of dark chocolate, so they make a lighter alternative to most candy or store-bought frozen treats. You control the sweetener, and the yogurt and peanut butter add protein and healthy fats that help them feel satisfying. They are still a dessert, but a more wholesome one than most.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Line a small tray or plate with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and maple syrup or honey (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Scoop tablespoon sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared tray, leaving a little space between each bite.
Freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until completely firm.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and quickly dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating as much as desired.
Place the coated bites back onto the lined tray and immediately sprinkle with chopped nuts, if using.
Refrigerate or freeze for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is fully set.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Use full fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture.
Natural peanut butter works well, but stir it thoroughly before measuring.
Keep the bites frozen for the best texture and flavor.
Swap peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter if preferred.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty finish.
