Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 tablespoon instant coffee granules

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract. Using a whisk, mix vigorously until the ingredients are completely smooth and well-incorporated, ensuring there are no lumps of cocoa or coffee granules.

    Prepare the Peanut Filling: In a separate bowl, add the crunchy peanut butter along with a pinch of sea salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. For added texture, you may fold in the chopped roasted peanuts and mini chocolate chips if you choose to include them.

      Form the Bites: With a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, carefully drop dollops (approximately 1 tablespoon each) of the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the dollops are placed, use your fingers or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each yogurt dollop.

        Fill the Indentations: Take about 1/2 teaspoon of the peanut filling, and spoon it into the indentation of each yogurt dollop, ensuring it is centered for a delightful bite.

          Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the bites to freeze for at least 2 hours or until they are fully solid and firm to the touch.

            Serve: Once the bites are fully frozen, remove them from the baking sheet and transfer to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy them directly from the freezer for a refreshing treat, or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes if you prefer a softer texture.

              Store: These delightful frozen yogurt mocha peanut bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, making them a convenient snack option for any time!
