Ingredients (makes ~6 regular or 12 mini muffin cups)

For the base:

• ¾ cup vanilla Greek yogurt

• 1 scoop Vitauthority Salted Caramel Whey Protein

• 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter)

• 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

For the filling:

• 2-3 medjool dates, chopped

• 2 tablespoon chopped toasted peanuts (roasted & salted = best crunch)

For the topping:

• ½ cup chocolate chips (use dairy-free if needed)

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

1. Make the Protein Yogurt Base

In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter, and maple syrup. It should be thick, creamy, and smooth.

2. Assemble the Cups

Spoon the base into a silicone muffin tin (or lined tray). Fill each about ¾ full. Top with chopped dates and toasted peanuts for that caramel-nutty layer.

3. Melt the Chocolate

In a small bowl, microwave the chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second bursts, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth. Spoon the chocolate over each cup to fully cover the filling.

4. Drizzle (Optional)

Want extra Snickers vibes? Drizzle warmed almond butter or peanut butter on top before freezing.

5. Freeze

Freeze the cups for at least 1 hour or until firm. Once frozen, pop them out and store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Let them sit at room temp for 3-5 minutes before biting in for the best chewy, creamy texture.

Pro Tips

• Mini muffin tin? Totally works! This makes ~12 mini cups. Perfect bite-size!

• Toasting the nuts brings out flavor: Toast chopped peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.

• Make it plant-based: Use coconut yogurt + plant-based protein.

• Add-ins: Sprinkle sea salt on top, swirl in a little caramel, or add crunchy granola before freezing.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long!). They're great for grabbing when a sweet craving hits.
