For many of us, it conjures up memories of after-school snacks, packed lunches, or late-night treats enjoyed straight from the fridge.

They’re simple, satisfying, and refreshingly cool, making them a perfect summer treat or year-round freezer staple.
I first discovered a version of this recipe when I was trying to cut back on store-bought sweets. I wanted something quick and healthy, but also indulgent.

My kids love the creamy centers, my partner can’t get enough of the chocolate shell, and I adore how guilt-free they are.
They’ve become my go-to snack for hot afternoons and a delightful treat after dinner. Over time, I started making them in bigger batches, storing them in the freezer for when guests came over or when I needed a quiet moment with a cup of tea.

Ingredients
-
½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
-
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
-
½ cup dark chocolate chips
-
1 teaspoon coconut oil (or avocado oil)
-
Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Combine the filling
In a small mixing bowl, blend together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This step is especially satisfying—the aroma of peanut butter filling the kitchen brings back warm, happy memories every time.
Step 2: Shape the bites
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of the mixture onto the sheet, shaping them into rough rounds. Don’t worry about perfect shapes—they’ll be covered in chocolate later. Place the tray in the freezer for at least one hour, or until the bites are fully frozen.
Step 3: Melt the chocolate
While the bites freeze, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely smooth. The oil adds a bit of shine and helps the chocolate set with a perfect snap.
Step 4: Dip and coat
Remove the frozen bites from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating it fully. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the bite back onto the parchment. If you like, sprinkle with a bit of flaky sea salt while the coating is still wet.
Step 5: Final freeze
Return the tray to the freezer for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely. Once set, you can transfer the bites to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
-
Almond butter or sunflower seed butter make great substitutes for peanut butter.
-
Mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts can be stirred into the filling for extra texture.
-
Use silicone molds for perfectly shaped bites with minimal mess.
