Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Bites (Printer-Friendly)

Creamy peanut butter and Greek yogurt frozen into bite-sized, dark chocolate-coated morsels finished with flaky sea salt.

# What You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
03 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Chocolate Coating

05 - 7 oz dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
06 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)

→ Topping

07 - Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and homogeneous.
03 - Using a small cookie scoop or a heaping teaspoon, portion the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each mound slightly apart. Aim for approximately 24 uniform bites.
04 - Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm and set.
05 - Near the end of the freezing period, place the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over gently simmering water.
06 - Remove the frozen bites from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each bite into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return each coated bite to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
07 - Immediately sprinkle the top of each chocolate-coated bite with flaky sea salt before the chocolate begins to set.
08 - Return the coated bites to the freezer for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is firm to the touch.
09 - Store the finished bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Serve directly from the freezer or allow to thaw slightly for a creamier texture.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They satisfy every sweet and salty craving in a single bite without requiring you to turn on the oven.
  • The frozen texture makes them feel like a decadent ice cream truffle, but they come together with pantry staples in about twenty minutes.
02 -
  • If the filling seems too soft to scoop neatly, chill the whole bowl for fifteen minutes and it will firm up beautifully.
  • Work quickly when dipping because the frozen centers start thawing fast and the chocolate will not adhere properly to a wet surface.
03 -
  • Use a toothpick to drag through any bald spots on the chocolate coating before it sets, because a thin patch is where cracking happens during storage.
  • The coconut oil is technically optional but it transforms a thick, temperamental coating into something silky and professional looking with zero extra effort.
