FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier, which helps the bites hold their shape better. Using regular yogurt may result in softer bites that freeze less firmly, but you can try straining regular yogurt before using it.
Are these bites suitable for kids?
Yes, they’re a great healthy snack for kids. Just be mindful of peanut allergies and consider using a nut-free butter alternative if needed.
