How to Make Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bars

1️⃣ Mix the Filling

In a mixing bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

2️⃣ Add Crunch & Chips

Fold in chocolate chips and chopped peanuts if using. These add amazing texture.

3️⃣ (Optional) Make the Chocolate Base

Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth. Spread evenly in a parchment-lined 8×8″ baking dish and freeze for 10 minutes to set.

4️⃣ Spread the Yogurt Mixture

Once the chocolate layer is set (if using), pour the peanut butter yogurt mix on top and smooth out evenly with a spatula.

5️⃣ Freeze Until Solid

Freeze the dish for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

6️⃣ Slice Into Bars

Once fully frozen, lift out using the parchment and cut into squares or bars.

7️⃣ Enjoy or Store

Serve slightly thawed for best texture, or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
