Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Greek yogurt
Peanut butter (creamy works best)
Honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
Vanilla extract
Mini chocolate chips

Optional swaps:

• Use almond butter instead of peanut butter for a different nutty flavor
• Try coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or sea salt for an extra kick

Directions

1. Prep the freezer:
Before I get started, I make sure my freezer has space and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grab my silicone mold.

2. Mix the base:
In a mixing bowl, I combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. I stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

3. Fold in the chocolate chips:
Once the base is smooth, I gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. I don’t overmix—I want those chips evenly spread out.

4. Portion out the bites:
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, I drop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared tray or into molds. Each bite is about one tablespoon.

5. Freeze until firm:
I place the tray in the freezer and let the bites set for at least 2 hours. They should be fully solid before serving.

6. Serve and store:
Once frozen, I transfer the bites into an airtight container. I keep them stored in the freezer and just pull a few out whenever I want a quick, cold treat.

Variations

When I want a twist, I mix in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or even a spoonful of cocoa powder for a chocolate-peanut butter version. I’ve also added a few chia seeds or flaxseeds to boost nutrition without changing the flavor. If I’m prepping for a party, I’ll pop them into mini cupcake liners for a fun, polished presentation.

storage/reheating

These bites are meant to be kept frozen. I store them in an airtight container for up to 1 month. They’re best enjoyed straight from the freezer or after sitting at room temperature for just a minute or two—any longer and they start to soften.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

I recommend sticking with Greek yogurt because it’s thicker and creamier. Regular yogurt may be too runny and affect the texture once frozen.

Are these bites sweet enough?

For me, yes—but if I prefer a sweeter treat, I add a little extra honey or a few chocolate chips. Taste the mixture before freezing to adjust.

Do I have to use mini chocolate chips?

Not necessarily. Regular chocolate chips or chopped chocolate work too, but minis distribute better and don’t overpower the bites.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Absolutely. I use coconut yogurt in place of Greek yogurt and make sure my chocolate chips are dairy-free.

How long do they last in the freezer?

They stay good for about 1 month in an airtight container. After that, the texture may change slightly but they’re still safe to eat.

Conclusion

Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites with Chocolate Chips are the kind of treat I love having on hand—quick, nourishing, and incredibly satisfying.
