Description

These 5 Ingredient Healthy Peanut Butter Yogurt Crunch Bars are a delicious and nutritious frozen treat combining creamy Greek yogurt, rich peanut butter, and a crunchy dark chocolate shell. Perfect for a guilt-free dessert or snack, these bars are easy to make with simple ingredients and require minimal prep time.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Greek Yogurt Bar

  • 1 cup full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (substitute with cashew or almond butter)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (substitute with honey or date syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • Dash of sea salt

Chocolate Crunch Shell

  • 1 cup 80% or higher dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts of choice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Greek Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, mix together the full fat Greek yogurt, peanut butter, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a dash of sea salt until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Fill Popsicle Molds and Freeze: Divide the Greek yogurt mixture evenly between 8 popsicle molds. Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and freeze them flat in your freezer for at least 2 hours, though overnight freezing is recommended for best results.
  3. Melt Chocolate and Add Nuts: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate together with the coconut oil until smooth. Stir in the chopped nuts of your choice evenly throughout the chocolate mixture.
  4. Dip Frozen Yogurt Bars into Chocolate: Once the yogurt bars are fully frozen, quickly dip each bar into the melted chocolate and nut mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
  5. Set Chocolate Coating: Place the chocolate-dipped yogurt bars on a parchment paper-lined plate and return them to the freezer until the chocolate shell has fully set.
  6. Store and Serve: Enjoy immediately or store the bars in an airtight container or bag in the freezer for up to one month to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Substitute peanut butter with cashew or almond butter for a different nut flavor.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or date syrup based on preference.
  • Choose dark chocolate with at least 80% cocoa for a richer, less sweet coating.
  • Use any nuts you prefer for the crunch, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
  • Ensure the bars are completely frozen before dipping to avoid melting the yogurt.
  • Store in the freezer to keep the bars firm and fresh for up to one month.
