FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier, which helps the bites hold their shape. Regular yogurt is thinner and may result in a softer texture, but you can strain it to remove excess liquid before using.

Are these bites suitable for children?

Yes, these bites are a healthy, tasty treat suitable for children. Just be sure to check for any peanut allergies before serving.
