Viral videos of creative frozen snacks and treats have been taking the internet by storm recently – and for good reason. They are an easy, quick, and nutritious treat. The creamy rich inside is covered with a thick, chocolate layer making these so satisfying to bite into! Oh my! So YUM!

They are the perfect cross between fudge and ice cream and only take a few minutes to make. They are lower in sugar and make the perfect healthy snack or treat that are also child friendly!

I’m all for…you know, a little sweet treat after every meal. These are perfect for that. Frozen snack balls are low effort to make and pleasing to the eyes! Not to mention they are fun and bite-size!

These babies are truly the ultimate healthy any time snack. They are protein packed, no-bake and super easy to make (less than five minutes). They are tasty, refreshing, and super convenient to store in the freezer and pull out when you want a sweet treat. Your ice cream cravings will be satisfied!

Why you will love this recipe:

Refined sugar free – this recipe is naturally sweetened with honey instead of white table sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

Customizable- You can use different kinds of fruit, granola, nuts as add ins or toppings to adjust the flavor to your preference. You can add as much (or as little) sweetener that you like to make it in your way and taste.

They are a little hard straight out of the freezer but if you let them sit for 15 minutes they become softer and easier to eat. You can even break popsicle sticks in half and pop one into each ball for easier eating.

These frozen snack balls are exceptionally yummy; children love them, and adults love them as well. Look no further for the cold treat or ice cream replacement your entire family will love. It is right here!

One thing about me is I’ll always have a stash of multiple kinds of treats in my freezer. If I’m recipe testing or just prepping for the week, I’ll put leftovers in the freezer so whenever I’m craving a sweet treat I have so many delicious, healthier options! Depending on how much I’ve been in the kitchen, there can be A LOT to choose from which is both a good and bad thing 😅

I almost always have one of my frozen snack balls prepped and ready. So far, I have posted several versions of these frozen snacks in different flavours  and I wanted to make one that was REALLY chocolatey.

If you are like me, there’s never such thing as too much chocolate… so this double chocolate version was created! I love these others but these immediately became my latest obsession. I honestly think these are some of the BEST things I’ve ever made!

With most frozen snack recipes, they come out icy and not a creamy texture. But with these, they are fudgy, creamy, and look like something you would get at a chocolate shop (but with so much less effort)!

By combining the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and cocoa powder, along with the other simple ingredients, we are creating a smooth, thick base that keeps these from turning icy. These ingredients are also a great mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbs to make this a balanced, blood sugar supporting treat. They are perfect for when you want something sweet and have a sneaky boost of protein without the sugar crash!

Whether you are prepping treats for the week ahead, want something to share when having people over, or just need a new recipe to try, these will quickly become a regular in your house 😉

Chocolate Coating
