FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier, which helps the bites hold their shape better.

How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking when cutting?

Let the bars sit at room temperature for 2 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife.

Can I make these without coconut oil?

Yes, but coconut oil helps create a smoother, shinier chocolate layer.

What’s the best way to blend the fruit?

For a smooth texture, use a food processor or blender. For a chunky texture, mash with a fork.

How can I make them even creamier?

Mix in a little almond butter or peanut butter for extra richness.

Can kids eat these?

Absolutely! These are kid-friendly and packed with natural ingredients.
