FAQs

Keep them frozen until ready to eat, and serve immediately.
3. Can I make these without chocolate?
Yes! Skip the chocolate dip and enjoy them plain or roll them in cocoa powder or crushed nuts.
4. What if I don’t have powdered peanut butter?
You can use extra creamy peanut butter, but the texture may be thicker.
5. Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Yes! Honey or agave syrup both work as natural sweeteners.

Yes! Spread the yogurt mixture into a small lined baking dish, freeze, then cut into squares before dipping in chocolate.
8. Can I use white chocolate instead?
