- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for topping)
- 1 tsp coconut oil

Regular peanut butter mousse jars
- 1 1/4 cups yogurt (greek yogurt or coconut yogurt - make sure it's thick!)
- 3-4 tbsp peanut butter (or almond, cashew, sunflower or granola butter).
- 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder *optional! Use a flavor you LOVE* See notes
- 1-3 tbsp milk, of choice *if using protein powder, use more as needed* See notes
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract & pinch of sea salt
Chocolate magic shell
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
- 1/2 tbsp peanut butter or other nut/seed butter
Butterfinger version (same recipe as above for yogurt & chocolate shell with this filling)
- 3ish tbsp crushed corn flake cereal (I like Real Cereal or Nature's path organics!)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp runny/creamy peanut butter
Instructions
Snickers version
- In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients besides the toppings (yogurt, powdered peanut butter or regular peanut butter, maple or honey, vanilla and sea salt). Whisk well until no lumps remain. Divide amongst two jars.
- Mix 2 tablespoon of runny/creamy peanut butter with 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup until smooth, then pour over top of the yogurt.
- In a small bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil until smooth. Pour over top of the peanut butter layer. You can even swirl it in if you'd like. Top with chopped nuts and sea salt.
- Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or so until it's firmed up. Enjoy!
Mousse version
- In a food processor or blender, combine everything besides the chocolate magic shell ingredients. Process until well combined, fluffy, and no lumps remain. Add a tablespoon of milk at a time, if needed. You want the mixture to be thick, but not pasty if that makes sense! If you don't have a food processor or blender, I highly recommend using a hand mixer or just whisking the mixture together really well to create the same fluffy texture.
- Taste the mousse & adjust as you’d like - an extra tbsp of peanut butter for more flavor, extra sweetener or vanilla, etc. Add the peanut butter mousse to your jars.
- In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and chocolate. Heat in the microwave (or using the double-boiler method) in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until completely smooth. Pour over the yogurt.
- Place the jars in the freezer for at least an hour or in the fridge overnight. This allows the yogurt to thicken up and the chocolate to set. You can add other toppings you'd like rather than the chocolate magic shell or along with it. Simply add the toppings prior to eating or before placing them in the fridge! Enjoy!
Butterfinger version
- Follow the same instructions as above but for the butterfinger topping, mix together the corn flake cereal, maple syrup, and peanut butter. Spread over top of the yogurt layer. Then top with the chocolate magic shell!

Notes
*If you're using protein powder, you may want to add a few tablespoons of some milk if the mixture is too thick. Add one at a time until it reaches your desired texture! Keep in mind if you're meal prepping these, they thicken up when set in the fridge for days, so you may want to add an extra tablespoon! I have only used plant-based protein and can't say how whey will affect the texture.
I used Macro Mike's almond salted caramel protein for these - it was delicious! You can use my code “amb-dani” for a discount), however I think whey or beef protein will work.
