Ingredients:
(Makes 12–15 bites)
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla works well )
⅓ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, your choice )
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste )
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Ingredients
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
2. Scoop and Freeze
- Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the mixture into bite-sized dollops on the prepared baking sheet. Each bite should be about 1–1.5 tablespoons in size.
- Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to gently smooth the tops of the bites for a more uniform shape.
3. Freeze
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1–2 hours , or until the bites are completely firm.
Once frozen, transfer the bites to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
4. Serve and Enjoy
- Enjoy the bites straight from the freezer for a cool, refreshing treat.
- Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 month .
Tips for Success
- Adjust Sweetness : If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the honey or use plain Greek yogurt instead of vanilla.
- Add Texture : For extra crunch, sprinkle crushed peanuts, granola, or shredded coconut on top before freezing.
- Use Natural Peanut Butter : Opt for natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils for a healthier option.
- Swap Flavors : Try almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a different twist.
- Dip in Chocolate : For an indulgent touch, melt dark or semi-sweet chocolate and dip the frozen bites halfway before returning them to the freezer.
