How to Make Frozen Yogurt Peanut Pops

Step 1: Prepare the Tray
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Make sure it fits in your freezer.

Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a bowl, stir together yogurt, peanut butter, and chocolate chips until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Shape and Add Sticks
Spoon ¼–⅓ of the mixture per pop onto the tray and spread each into a 3-inch round.

Press a popsicle stick halfway in, ensuring it’s centered and surrounded by yogurt.

Step 4: Add Crunch
Sprinkle chopped peanuts (or other nuts) on top and press gently to stick.

Step 5: Freeze Until Firm
Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours until completely hardened.

Step 6: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

Step 7: Dip and Finish
Remove the pops from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate.

It will harden quickly. Place them back on the tray if needed to finish setting.

Step 8: Store or Serve

Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
