Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or any preferred flavour)
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Melt Chocolate: Once frozen, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- 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.
- 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.
