Ingredients

Scale
  • For Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Bites:
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, washed and dried thoroughly
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate bar (70% or higher)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Optional toppings: crushed freeze-dried raspberries, chopped pistachios, shredded coconut, flaky sea salt
  • For Pink Yogurt Bark:
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 2-3 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup mashed raspberries or strawberries
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Toppings: sliced strawberries, blueberries, dark chocolate chips
  • For No-Bake Energy Love Bites:
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural creamy almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Make the Pink Yogurt Bark first as it needs the longest to set. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, maple syrup, mashed berries, and vanilla until uniformly pink. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  2. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour yogurt mixture onto paper and spread into an even layer, about 1/4-inch thick. Scatter toppings over the top, pressing gently.
  3. Place pan flat in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours, or until completely solid. Once frozen, break or cut into pieces.
  4. For Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Bites, ensure strawberries are completely dry. Slice off tops and cut into halves or quarters for bite-sized pieces, or leave whole with stems.
  5. Melt chocolate and coconut oil using a double boiler or in microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each strawberry piece into melted chocolate, let excess drip off, and place on a parchment-lined tray. Immediately sprinkle with optional toppings before chocolate sets.
  7. Let chocolate harden at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
  8. For No-Bake Energy Love Bites, in a large bowl, stir together oats, almond butter, maple syrup, ground flax, chia seeds, and salt until a sticky dough forms.
  9. Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips.
  10. Portion dough using a tablespoon or small scoop. Roll into balls or press into heart-shaped molds.
  11. Place bites on a plate and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes to firm up.
  12. Arrange all treats on a platter for serving. Store as directed.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing. Yogurt bark must be fully frozen before breaking. Energy bite dough can be adjusted: if too wet, add more oats; if too dry, add more nut butter or syrup. All components can be made 1-2 days in advance.
