Chocolate Yogurt Bars
These chocolate yogurt bars are made with yogurt and almond butter and then coated in chocolate, making them a better-for-you alternative to traditional popsicles.
Equipment
Ingredients
Yogurt Bars
- 1 cup yogurt plus 1 tbsp
- ½ cup almond butter stirred well
- ¾ teaspoon Singing Dog vanilla
- Mini chocolate chips optional
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cups chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
Yogurt Bars
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the yogurt, almond butter, and vanilla in a bowl until creamy.
- Using a 2-inch cookie, place a large scoop of filling onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Press a popsicle stick into the filling and use the back of a spoon to swirl it over the popsicle stick.
- Repeat for the remaining 5 bars.
- Freeze the bars for 3 hours until solid.
Chocolate Coating
- When the bars are frozen, melt the chocolate chip and coconut oil in a microwaveable glass bowl at 20-second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip the bars in the melted chocolate, place them back on the baking sheet, and freeze again for 10 minutes until set.
Notes
Storage
- Store these chocolate yogurt bars in the freezer for up to a month in an airtight, freezer-safe container.
- All-natural nut butters separate as they sit. Be sure to thoroughly mix your nut butter of choice so that all the solids and fat are incorporated well.
- You can make things easier on yourself by using processed nut butter with added stabilizers. Just be aware that they have additives in them.
- Any brand of yogurt will work for these bars, but it has to be thick. Thin yogurt won't give you the right consistency.
- These bars are better for you, but they are by no means healthy. These should be enjoyed in moderation BUT without any guilt. They're good, y'all.
