There are days when I want something sweet after dinner, but I do not want to turn on the oven or bake a full dessert. That is exactly when I make these frozen Greek yogurt peanut butter bites.
They are creamy, slightly sweet, and have that perfect peanut butter flavor that makes them feel like a treat. The frozen texture reminds me a little of mini ice cream bites, but they are much lighter.
The first time I made these, I honestly just mixed what I had in the fridge. Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and a little honey. I froze them and dipped them in chocolate, and suddenly my family was asking when I would make another batch.

Now I keep these frozen yogurt peanut butter bites in the freezer almost every week.

Ingredients
Yogurt Base
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Optional Toppings
- Crushed peanuts
- Sea salt flakes
- Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Tray
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
This prevents the bites from sticking during freezing.
Step 2: Mix The Yogurt Base
In a mixing bowl combine:
- Greek yogurt
- Peanut butter
- Honey or maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Scoop The Bites
Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to place small mounds of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet.
Each scoop should be about one tablespoon.
Step 4: Freeze
Place the tray in the freezer for 45 to 60 minutes.
The bites should be firm enough to dip in chocolate.
Step 5: Melt The Chocolate
In a microwave safe bowl combine:
- Chocolate chips
- Coconut oil
Heat in 20 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Step 6: Dip The Bites
Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer.
Dip each bite into melted chocolate using a fork.
Place them back on the parchment paper.
Step 7: Freeze Again
Return the tray to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes so the chocolate sets.
Notes And Variations
Use Different Nut Butters
You can substitute peanut butter with:
- Almond butter
- Cashew butter
- Sunflower seed butter
Add Crunch
Stir crushed peanuts or granola into the yogurt mixture.
Make Them Sweeter
Add an extra teaspoon of honey if you prefer a sweeter bite.
Skip The Chocolate
These bites are still delicious without the chocolate coating.
FAQs
Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Yes. Vanilla Greek yogurt works well and adds extra sweetness.
Coconut oil helps create a smooth coating. You can melt chocolate alone if needed.
