You know those evenings when you just want to indulge in something sweet but not too heavy? That’s exactly how I felt the other day. I was craving something decadent yet guilt-free, and that’s when I thought of making these Peanut Butter Chocolate Yogurt Bites. They’re the perfect combination of creamy, nutty, and chocolaty goodness, and they only require a few simple ingredients!
I remember the first time I made these; it was a rainy day, and I was curled up on the couch with a good book. The idea of something cold and sweet was irresistible, so I decided to whip up these little bites. They were so easy to make, and the best part? They were totally satisfying!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 250 g Greek yogurt (1 cup)
- 85 g peanut butter (1/3 cup)
- 170 g dark chocolate chips (1 cup) + 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or other sweetener (optional)
How to Make These Delicious Treats
1. Mixing the Base
First, I mixed together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and a touch of maple syrup. The combination of creamy yogurt and nutty peanut butter was simply divine! If you’re a fan of sweetness, you can add the maple syrup or honey to taste.
2. Freezing the Scoops
Next, I portioned out the mixture into small scoops and placed them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Into the freezer they went for about 1-2 hours until they were firm and ready for the next step.
3. Melting the Chocolate
While the yogurt bites were chilling, I melted the dark chocolate chips with a little bit of coconut oil. The coconut oil helps the chocolate become smooth and creamy, making it easier to coat the frozen bites.
4. Dipping in Chocolate
Once the yogurt bites were firm, I dipped each one into the melted chocolate, making sure they were fully coated. I used a fork to lift them out, letting the excess chocolate drip off.
5. Adding a Crunchy Topping
Before the chocolate set, I sprinkled some crunchy nuts on top of each coated scoop. It added a lovely texture and extra flavor to the bites.
6. Setting the Bites
Finally, I placed the treats back on the baking sheet and returned them to the freezer for a few more minutes to set. After that, they were ready to be enjoyed!
