My family can't get enough of these irresistible strawberry yogurt bites dipped in chocolate. They've become our go-to summer sweet. There's something magical about mixing tangy Greek yogurt with juicy strawberries, all wrapped in velvety chocolate. I've tweaked this treat countless times in my kitchen until I got the perfect balance of flavors.
When I first whipped these up, my children couldn't wait for them to set—they vanished almost instantly! Now they join me every weekend to make extra batches, saying it's their special bonding time with mommy.
Key Components
- Greek yogurt (full-fat): gives you that luxurious mouthfeel and deep flavor
- Strawberries (fresh): pick ones with vibrant red color and sweet smell
- Honey (raw): brings natural sweetness and stops ice crystals from forming
- Vanilla (pure): really brings out the strawberry taste
- Chocolate (semi-sweet): creates that wonderful crackling exterior
- Oil (coconut): helps your chocolate coating turn out silky and shiny

My grandma always told me to taste strawberries before mixing them in—their sweetness level tells you how much honey to add. This simple trick makes these clusters turn out amazing every single time.
Serving Suggestions
Set these treats out on a nice plate with some fresh mint and a tiny sprinkle of sea salt. They're fantastic at backyard gatherings next to a pitcher of iced tea or cold coffee. I love having them after a light supper—just enough sweetness without feeling stuffed.
Mix It Around
Try different berries throughout the summer months. Sometimes I'll use vanilla-flavored yogurt for extra sweetness, or sprinkle crushed pistachios on top before the chocolate hardens. My little girl goes crazy when I use white chocolate for birthdays and special days.
Storage Tips
Keep your finished clusters in an airtight container with parchment between each layer. They'll stay delicious for about three months. Let them sit out for around two minutes before eating—this softens them just enough for the best texture.
