Tips & Variations

• Use flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla or berry to add extra sweetness without adding sugar.
• Try white chocolate or milk chocolate chips for a different chocolate taste.
• Swap crushed peanuts with chopped almonds or shredded coconut for varied toppings.
• Make mini versions using smaller pretzels for bite-sized snacks.

Storage

Store the dipped pretzel bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to eat, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt for this recipe?

Yes, flavored yogurt can add extra sweetness and variety, but plain Greek yogurt works great for a tangier taste and less sugar.

What if I don’t have coconut oil for melting the chocolate?

You can melt the chocolate chips on their own or substitute coconut oil with a small amount of vegetable oil; this helps create a smoother coating.

• 1 cup strawberries, diced

Pretzels

• 48 pretzels

Chocolate Coating

• 2 cups dark chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp coconut oil (for melting chocolate)

Topping (optional)

• ¼ cup crushed peanuts

Instructions

1. Prepare Yogurt and Strawberry Mixture: In a bowl, mash together the Greek yogurt and diced strawberries until well combined and slightly chunky, setting aside for the filling.
2. Assemble Pretzel Yogurt Sandwiches: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange 28 pretzels spaced out on the tray, then spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt-strawberry mixture on top of each pretzel.
3. Top with Pretzels and Freeze: Place another pretzel on top of each yogurt dollop, creating a sandwich. Freeze the assembled treats for at least 2 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is completely frozen solid.

5. Dip Sandwiches in Chocolate: Quickly dip each frozen pretzel yogurt sandwich into the melted chocolate coating to cover completely or partially, depending on preference. Immediately sprinkle with crushed peanuts if using.
6. Set Chocolate and Store: Place the chocolate dipped bites back on the parchment paper and store in the freezer until the chocolate has fully set and hardened. Serve cold or keep frozen for best texture and freshness.

Notes

• For a creamier filling, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
• Use any flavor of Greek yogurt for different taste variations.
• Substitute crushed peanuts with other nuts or leave topping off for a nut-free version.
• Ensure the yogurt bites are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting chocolate.
• Store the finished bites in the freezer; they can be kept frozen for up to one week.
