The first batch of these frozen yogurt bars totally wowed me. Creamy peanut butter with tangy Greek yogurt and dark chocolate together? It’s summer in every bite. I stash a bunch in the freezer so there's always something cold and sweet waiting. They're lighter than ice cream bars but just as satisfying.
Irresistible Sweet Snack You’ll Love
My favorite thing about making these bars is how they tackle those ice cream cravings but with way better ingredients. Mixing Greek yogurt and peanut butter gives this creamy frozen bite, and the chocolate outside makes them feel so fancy. My kids think it’s a big treat but I’m glad they’re eating something pretty good for them.
Grab These Ingredients
- Coconut Oil: Makes the melted chocolate harden just right.
- Chocolate: Semisweet is tasty but go with what you like.
- Roasted Salted Peanuts: That salty crunch makes it pop.

Little Tips from My Kitchen
For the creamiest bars, stick to full-fat Greek yogurt. Always take a quick taste and adjust the sweetness if you want. If you feel like changing it up, mini chocolate chips or almond butter are awesome swaps. You really can’t go wrong with either.
How to Store Your Stash
They'll hang out just fine in your freezer for three months as long as you stick them in something airtight. I actually wrap each bar on its own because it makes grabbing one quick when the day's hot. They’ll keep tasty even longer but honestly, they disappear faster than that at my place.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → What's coconut oil do in the chocolate?
Coconut oil makes the coating smoother and thinner, so it's easier to bite through when frozen.
- → Should I use natural peanut butter?
Stick with creamy, regular peanut butter. Natural types can freeze too solid and might separate.
- → Why choose Greek yogurt?
Greek yogurt is thicker, packs more protein, and freezes to a smoother consistency than plain yogurt.
- → How long can I store these?
They last well wrapped in the freezer for about a month. Let them thaw a few minutes before eating for the best texture.
- → Do I need the peanuts on top?
No, but they add a little salty crunch that makes these extra tasty. Finely chopped almonds make a great swap.
