🍫 Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, Your New Favorite Freezer Snack!

Sometimes, after a long day, you just need something yummy and satisfying fast! That’s where these Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars come to the rescue. They’re creamy, chocolaty, a little nutty, and stored right in the freezer for those “I need something sweet NOW!” moments. Oh, and the best part? They’re actually pretty healthy and take just a few minutes to make! 😋

Let me walk you through the easiest and tastiest freezer snack ever. Ready? Let’s do it!

👩‍🍳 Method (In Detail):

Mix it up!

First, grab a medium-sized mixing bowl and add in your ingredients: 250 grams of plain yogurt (I prefer 0% fat natural yogurt), 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Stir everything together until the mixture becomes smooth and evenly blended. The yogurt will give it a creamy base, the peanut butter adds richness and nuttiness, and the honey brings just the right touch of sweetness. Take a moment to appreciate how amazing it smells you might be tempted to eat it straight out of the bowl (been there 😅), but trust me, the freezer version is even better!

Spread it out.

Next, get your baking tray or flat dish and line it with parchment paper. This is super important because it makes removing the bars later so much easier. Once your tray is ready, pour the yogurt-peanut butter mixture on top and use the back of a spoon or spatula to spread it out evenly across the surface. You don’t want it too thick or too thin aim for about half an inch of thickness. This helps it freeze properly and makes for perfect bite-sized squares.

Top it off!

Now it’s time for the fun part toppings! Melt some chocolate (dark, milk, or even white, whatever you love) and drizzle it gently over the spread-out yogurt mix. Add a few lines of peanut butter too. Then take a toothpick, skewer, or even a clean fork, and gently swirl through the toppings to create a beautiful marble effect. You don’t have to overdo it just a few swirls here and there make it look fancy without too much effort. Trust me, even a few quick swirls make the final bars look like something from a gourmet store.

Freeze it.

Once decorated, carefully place your tray flat in the freezer. Make sure the surface is level so the bars freeze evenly. Leave it in the freezer overnight to make sure the mixture sets completely. If you’re really impatient (like me), you can check after about 4–6 hours, but the longer it freezes, the cleaner and easier it will be to cut into nice shapes later.

Cut & snack!

The next day (or whenever your patience runs out 😄), take the tray out of the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for just 2–3 minutes just enough so it’s not rock-hard. Then, using a sharp knife, cut the frozen yogurt slab into squares or bars. You can go big or small depending on how you like your snacks. Store the cut bars in an airtight container and pop them back into the freezer so you can grab one whenever your sweet tooth calls.

Ingredients

  • 250g plain yogurt (I use 0% fat natural yogurt)

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • Extra peanut butter for drizzling

  • Melted chocolate for topping (dark or milk, up to you!)

Directions

  • Mix it up! In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, peanut butter, and honey until smooth. It’s okay if it smells so good you want to eat it right away resist! 😆
  • Spread it out. Take a tray or flat dish and line it with parchment paper. Pour the yogurt mix on top and spread it evenly.
  • Top it off! Now drizzle some melted chocolate and a bit of peanut butter over the top. Grab a toothpick and swirl the toppings around like an artist. Don’t worry about making it fancy it’s gonna taste amazing either way!
  • Freeze it. Pop the tray into the freezer and leave it overnight. This is the hard part waiting!
  • Cut & snack! Once it’s fully frozen, take it out and cut into squares or bars. Keep them in an airtight container in the freezer and grab one whenever a craving hits!

Notes

  • Make sure your tray fits in the freezer! I once had to awkwardly tilt mine… messy! 😂
  • Don’t skip the parchment paper or your bars will stick to the tray and be hard to get out.
  • Let it freeze completely before cutting if it’s soft, the squares will break and melt.
  • Don’t swirl too much or the toppings will just blend in. A few swirls go a long way!

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Perfect right out of the freezer as a cool treat
  • Great with a cup of warm tea or coffee
  • Cut into small cubes and serve at kids’ parties (they’ll love it!)
  • Crumble it over oatmeal or smoothie bowls for a fun twist
