Yogurt 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
- Flaky sea salt for topping
- Mix Base: 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.
- Shape Bites: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Initial Freeze: Freeze the shaped yogurt bites for at least 2 hours or until they are completely firm and solid to the touch.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Dip and Coat: Working quickly, dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, then place the coated bites back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Final Touch: Immediately sprinkle each chocolate-coated bite with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet. Freeze the bites for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Notes
- Ensure the yogurt bites are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting and to help the chocolate coat evenly.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for the best flavor and texture.
- Store finished bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Microwave chocolate in short intervals to avoid burning.
