The mixture is scooped into clusters, frozen until firm, and coated in a rich chocolate shell for the perfect chewy-meets-crunchy bite. Store them in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for a long-lasting, satisfying snack.
I love dates. For more yummy date recipes try my tahini date bars, salted caramel ice cream or my salted caramel cheesecake.

You can also freeze them for 3 months and thaw them out as you want to eat them.
Recipe Pro-Tips for healthy snickers frozen yogurt bites
Make sure your clusters are full frozen before dipping them in chocolate. Otherwise they will melt and create a whole mess.
DO NOT omit the oil when you melt the chocolate. This prevents the chocolate from seizing (getting clumpy).
If you want to up the protein content use greek yogurt as your yogurt. I have found that greek yogurt does take a little longer to freeze and you may have to let the clusters freeze for a full 2 hours.
Recipe FAQS
It depends what kind of yogurt you use. If you use dairy free yogurt then these would be vegan.
Dates are a naturally sweet fruit packed with fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. They support digestion, boost energy, and may help reduce inflammation in the brain. Dates also make a great whole-food alternative to refined sugar in healthy recipes.
Yes, just mix it in the beginning with the yogurt and nut butter. If the mixture becomes too thick add a splash of milk or more yogurt.

Snickers Frozen Yogurt Clusters (high protein)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 dates - pitted and roughly chopped
- 1 cup thick vanilla or plain yogurt of choice I recommend either greek or coconut yogurt
- ¼ cup nut butter of choice
- ½ cup chopped nuts of choice
- 1 ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon hard coconut oil
- pinch flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Add yogurt and nut butter to a bowl and mix until smooth. Add in nuts and dates. Mix until combined.
- Spoon* out mixture onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper (a plate or other flat surface also works) into ~7 evenly sized clusters. Freeze for 1-3 hours or overnight, until hardened. I have found that dairy yogurt takes longer to freeze than non dairy.
- Melt together chocolate and coconut oil. I melted mine for 3 30 second intervals in the microwave.
- Dunk each cluster in dark chocolate. Sprinkle over the flaky salt. Freeze again for 10-15 minutes, until set. Dig in and enjoy!**
Notes
*I used an ice cream scooper.
**If you want your clusters to have a softer inner texture instead of a frozen texture let them sit out for 10 minutes.
