Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Buster Bar Ingredients

Ingredients for the peanut butter frozen yogurt bars

To make the recipe, you need peanut butter, chocolate chips, yogurt or ice cream (vegan brands work too), and optional oil, sweetener, and chopped peanuts.

You may use traditional or natural peanut butter, and smooth or crunchy pb both work. Or Go ahead and substitute an equal amount of almond butter, cashew butter, nut free sunflower seed butter, or low carb macadamia nut butter.

Choose any favorite regular or Greek yogurt, vegan yogurt, or vanilla ice cream.

The sweetener of choice can be regular sugar, unrefined coconut sugar, pure maple syrup or honey, or a sugar free option like stevia. If you are using vanilla ice cream or sweetened yogurt, you may not need additional sweetener.

To make vegan Buster Bars, go with dairy free chocolate chips. Or for a keto dessert, look for sugar free chocolate chips.

I like to stir two teaspoons of vegetable or coconut oil into the melted chocolate chips because it results in a smoother chocolate coating. However you can easily leave out the oil if you prefer.

How to make chocolate peanut Buster Bars

Gather all of your ingredients, and line a large tray or baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.

In a mixing bowl, whip the yogurt, peanut butter, and optional sweetener. Stir in a handful of mini chocolate chips if you wish.

Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to drop blobs of the mixture onto the prepared tray.

Press a popsicle stick or small spoon into each blob, then smooth the mixture down with a spatula or second spoon if desired.

Sprinkle a few chopped peanuts onto each bar to add a fun crunchy texture.

Freeze the homemade Buster bars until firm.

Carefully melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or by using the double boiler method. If you do not know how to properly melt chocolate, there is an in depth tutorial in my post on Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

Once melted, stir in the optional oil if you desire a smoother chocolate sauce.

Dip each peanut butter frozen yogurt bar into the melted chocolate, place them back on the parchment lined tray, and freeze to set the chocolate magic shell.

Enjoy your DIY peanut butter Buster Bars any time you are craving a Dairy Queen dessert. Store leftovers in a covered container in the freezer for up to a month.
