For the Yogurt Bars:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons roasted and salted peanuts (optional)
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (6 oz.)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare Yogurt Bars: Line a baking sheet with wax paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Shape Bars: Use a cupcake or ice cream scoop to dollop mounds of the yogurt mixture on the lined pan. Press a popsicle stick onto each mound, then top with the remaining yogurt mixture. Flatten the mounds with a small offset spatula.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle roasted and salted peanuts evenly on each mound.
- Freeze: Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours until the bars are frozen solid.
- Coat with Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips or chopped chocolate with coconut oil. Dip each frozen bar into the melted chocolate.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or return the bars to the freezer. Thaw for 5-10 minutes before serving if frozen solid.
In a small bowl, combine plain Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Notes
- Feel free to mix in 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips.
- For added presentation, place the peanut halves flat side down on the yogurt mounds before freezing.
