These Yogurt Pops are an easy, fun, and delicious sweet bite that you’ve got to keep stashed in your freezer.

One of the biggest tenants of my nutrition philosophy is dessert.

Not only do I recommend allowing all foods unconditionally, but also, if you love dessert I recommend eating it – often.

This does a few things for your relationship with food and for your overall health.

Firstly, it helps take dessert off a pedestal. Instead of dessert being something overly tempting that isn’t allowed, it becomes just another food that you like to eat.

We naturally want what we can’t have. So taking away that “can’t have” aspect of dessert can be really powerful.

Secondly, eating dessert often helps with cravings. It may sound obvious, but the best way to satisfy a craving is to eat the food you’re eating.

And if you’re craving something sweet, but don’t allow yourself to eat something sweet… not only will you eventually end up eating it (and eventually, you will!), but it will take a lot of that food to feel satisfied.

Allowing and eating dessert often lets you feel satisfied in a comfortable and controllable way.

And lastly, dessert is just delicious. And so are these Peanut Butter Cup Yogurt Pops.

They’re ridiculously easy to make and such a fun dessert to have on hand. They make a delicious snack too!

Mix yogurt, peanut butter, and honey

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix yogurt, peanut butter, and honey until smooth. Place yogurt mixture by the spoonful onto the baking sheet.

Using the back of the spoon, shape each dollop into a round, circular shape.

Add chopped peanuts

Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of each round of yogurt.

Place in the freezer to harden

Stick popsicle stick firmly in the center of each yogurt round.

Place in the freezer to harden for at least 1 hour.

Melt chocolate and dip

Once hardened, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds. Remove the yogurt pops from the parchment paper and dip into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure they’re evenly covered.

Place back on parchment paper and in the freezer to harden again (optional: add flaky salt, sprinkles, or more chopped nuts on top of chocolate).

Notes

Yogurt: Full fat Greek yogurt will work best here. For a sweeter inside, try a vanilla flavored yogurt.
Chocolate chips: I used semisweet chocolate chips. If you’re a fan, try dark chocolate chips instead.
Mix ins: Feel free to skip the chopped peanuts if you’re not into them. I love the crunch they add. You can also add different things on top instead of flaky salt, like sprinkles, an extra chocolate drizzle, or more chopped peanuts.
Storage: Store these yogurt pops in the freezer. They’ll stay good for about a month!
