Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites

These ultra creamy peanut butter yogurt bites taste like little sinful bites of heaven, while being packed with protein! Chewy bits of caramel-like dates are folded into a creamy peanut butter yogurt filling, topped with a chocolate shell, crunchy peanuts, and sea salt. They remind me of Snickers - you'll want this healthy snack on repeat!

Ingredients
  

Yogurt Bites

  • 1 cups THICK yogurt *greek or coconut yogurt work best
  • 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter *Can also sub peanut butter or vanilla flavored protein powder
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter
  • 3-4 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • dates (ripped in half & rolled into balls or you can chop some up & fold them in) *see video!
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • generous pinch of sea salt

Topping

  • 1 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine all of the yogurt bite ingredients, besides the dates, mixing until completely smooth. Taste and add a little extra maple if needed.
  • Open the dates and remove the pits. Rip them in half, then roll each half into a ball. Alternatively, you could chop them up and fold them into the yogurt mixture, but I love having them as a chewy caramel-like center!
  • Divide the yogurt mixture amongst your mini muffin tin, filling each crevice about 1/3 way, leaving the last 1/3 for chocolate. I find it easiest to use a tbsp sized cookie scoop. Place a date ball into the center of each one, slightly pressing it down.
  • In a small bowl, add the chocolate and coconut oil. The coconut oil is used to help thin the chocolate a bit. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well between each, until melted and smooth. Add a little chocolate to the top of each bite, covering the yogurt. Top with some chopped peanuts.
  • Place in the freezer for 2-3 hours to allow them to completely firm up. I like to top mine with sea salt once they're firm! Once firm, remove from the muffin tin or mold and store in an air-tight container in the freezer.

Notes

    • Storing leftovers: These will keep in the freezer for up to a month!
    • Can I add protein powder? Yes! I would omit the powdered peanut butter and add in 1/4 cup protein powder.

    • You MUST use a thick yogurt for these to turn out the best! Thinner yogurts will not set up the same or be as thick/creamy.
