Let’s Make it together
Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy, making sure there are no lumps.
Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the mixture; avoid overmixing to keep those lovely chips intact.
Prepare the Tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier—thank me later!
Scoop and Freeze: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of the mixture onto the prepared tray. Space them out evenly so they have room to freeze properly.
Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 2-3 hours until the bites are firm enough to hold their shape when removed.
