Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bars

INGREDIENTS:

For the Bars:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla for added sweetness)

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened preferred)

1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

For the Chocolate Coating:

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)

Optional Mix-Ins:

Mini chocolate chips

Chopped peanuts

Crushed pretzels

Fresh berries

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Prepare the Base

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired.

Step 2: Assemble the Bars

Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Pour the peanut butter-yogurt mixture into the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

If using mix-ins like chocolate chips or crushed pretzels, sprinkle them evenly over the top and gently press them into the mixture.

Step 3: Freeze the Bars

Place the pan in the freezer for 2–3 hours , or until the mixture is firm and sliceable.

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.

Step 5: Coat the Bars

Remove the frozen peanut butter-yogurt slab from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles.

Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Alternatively, drizzle the chocolate over the tops for a decorative finish.

Place the coated bars on a parchment-lined tray and return them to the freezer for 10–15 minutes to set the chocolate.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy straight from the freezer for a cool, creamy treat!
