Effortless Chocolate Butter Bites (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Yogurt Filling

01 - 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
02 - ½ tablespoon maple syrup
03 - ½ cup thick Greek yogurt, full fat
04 - ¼ cup powdered peanut butter (like PB2, PB Fit, or Clean Simple Eats)

→ Chocolate Coating

05 - ½ cup dark chocolate chips (Lily's)
06 - A sprinkle of flaky salt for garnish (optional)
07 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, maple syrup, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Make sure everything blends evenly.
02 - Set up a baking tray or plate lined with parchment paper. Scoop out the mixture using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon, placing six equally-sized portions onto the prepared surface. Round them out if you'd like.
03 - Pop the tray in the freezer for about 10 to 20 minutes, or until the yogurt mounds are solid and easy to handle for dipping into chocolate.
04 - While the yogurt bites are firming up, microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Stir after every 30 seconds until they're completely melted.
05 - Take the solid yogurt bites out of the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat them fully. Let the extra chocolate drip off before setting them back on the parchment paper.
06 - While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a tiny bit of flaky sea salt for an optional sweet and salty combo.
07 - Transfer the chocolate-coated bites to the fridge so the chocolate sets, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes. Once hardened, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

# Notes:

01 - Small, bite-sized desserts packed with Greek yogurt protein, flavored with peanut butter, and wrapped in chocolate.
02 - Keep these stored in the fridge, as they soften pretty quickly if left out too long.
03 - If you use Lily's chocolate chips, you'll get a lower-sugar treat since they're sweetened with stevia.
04 - Adding flaky salt to the tops is optional but really amps up the sweet-salty flavor profile.
