Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping if you like.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and form them into tablespoon-sized balls. Flatten these into discs and place them on the baking sheet. Freeze for about 1 to 2 hours until they’re firm.
Coating
- Melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
- Retrieve the frozen discs from the freezer. Dip each piece into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, letting any excess chocolate drip off.
- Return each coated bite to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Before the chocolate sets, top them with crushed peanuts, sea salt, or shredded coconut.
- Freeze the coated bites for another 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate is tightly set.
Storage
- Store these delicious bites in an airtight container in the freezer, and allow them to sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different nut butters or sweeteners to customize your bites. You can make them more kid-friendly by incorporating fun toppings or letting kids help shape them.
