These peanut butter yogurt bites are one of my go-to frozen treats when I want something sweet, creamy, and easy to prepare.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s simple, quick, and made with ingredients I usually already have at home. The bites are perfectly balanced with creamy, sweet, and slightly salty flavors. I also enjoy how flexible the recipe is, since I can easily adjust the sweetness or switch up the flavors depending on what I’m in the mood for.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
⅓ cup natural peanut butter
6 ounces dark chocolate chips
¼ cup salted peanuts, chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup, optional

Directions

I start by mixing the Greek yogurt and peanut butter in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If I want extra sweetness, I add maple syrup and stir until fully combined.

I line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop small portions of the mixture onto the sheet. I gently flatten each scoop into a thin round using the back of a spoon.

I place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the yogurt rounds to firm up.

While they freeze, I melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals and stirring frequently until smooth.

Once the yogurt rounds are firm, I dip each one into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper. I sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top while the chocolate is still soft.

I return the tray to the freezer for 1 to 2 hours until the chocolate coating is completely set.

Servings And Timing

This recipe makes about 12 bites.
Prep time is approximately 10 minutes.
Freezing time is about 1½ to 2 hours total.

Variations

I like switching the peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter for a different flavor. When I want the bites sweeter, I add a little extra maple syrup. I sometimes use white chocolate instead of dark chocolate for a softer, sweeter taste.

Storage/Reheating

I store these bites in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer. They keep well for up to three months. I usually enjoy them straight from the freezer, but I sometimes let them sit out for a minute to slightly soften.

FAQs

Can I prepare these in advance?

I often make these ahead of time since they freeze well and are easy to grab whenever I need a snack.

Can I skip the maple syrup?

I skip it when I want a less sweet bite, especially if the chocolate already adds enough sweetness for me.

How do I keep the chocolate smooth?

I melt the chocolate slowly and stir often to keep it smooth and easy to coat.

Can I make them without peanuts on top?

I leave off the peanuts sometimes, and the bites still turn out delicious.

How long do they need to set?

I usually let them set in the freezer for at least one hour, but two hours gives the best texture.

Conclusion

These peanut butter yogurt bites are a simple and satisfying treat that I love keeping in my freezer. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect whenever I’m craving something cold, creamy, and sweet.
