  2. Step 2: Stir in the mini chocolate chips, chia seeds (or ground flaxseed), and chopped nuts.
  3. Step 3: Scoop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or place into mini muffin liners for easy portioning.
  4. Step 4: Freeze the bites for 1–2 hours or until solid and firm.
  5. Step 5: Once frozen, transfer the bites to a sealed container and keep them stored in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • For a dairy-free option, use plant-based or coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the peanut butter flavor.
  • Try mixing in dried fruit like chopped dates or raisins for extra texture and sweetness.
  • Use mini muffin liners for easy portion control and less mess.

Storage

Store the frozen bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to eat, let them thaw for a few minutes at room temperature to soften slightly, or enjoy them straight from the freezer for a cold, refreshing snack.

FAQs

Can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter?

Yes, almond butter or any other nut butter can be substituted based on your preference or dietary needs. The texture and flavor will vary slightly but still be delicious.

The bites can be eaten straight from the freezer for a cold treat, but if you prefer a softer texture, let them sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before enjoying.
