Made in minutes, this easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Dip is a healthy snack or appetizer. Eat it with fresh fruit or by itself!
This Chocolate Peanut Butter Dip is one of those dessert dips that you can eat by itself with a spoon because it is so good. Believe me, I did. I also ate it for a snack with apple slices.
You could eat it with vegan graham crackers, strawberries, or fresh fruit. It's a great recipe to get the kids involved with; they can make fun swirl patterns in the dip.
This is like vegan yogurt on steroids, or vegan yogurt at the Olympics. Yep, it is that good.
Creamy peanut butter complements bitter dark chocolate with some maple syrup for sweetness. Yum!
Another dark chocolate dip recipe is my Dark Chocolate Hummus. It is out this world good!

🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Peanut butter: Adds a rich nutty flavor. I used all natural peanut butter. Use whatever your favorite is.
- Cacao powder: For the chocolaty flavor. You could also use cocoa powder.
- Cinnamon and chili powder: Add warm spicy flavor. Both are optional.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances the flavors.
- Maple syrup: Adds a sweet maple flavor. You could also use agave syrup or your favorite sweetener.
- Vegan Greek yogurt: I used vegan Greek yogurt because it is thick, smooth, and creamy, but any kind of yogurt would work here. I like the unsweetened plain kind so that I can control the amount of sugar.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: In a small bowl mix cacao powder, vegan Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, chili powder, and vanilla extract.
Step 2: In a separate bowl stir together peanut butter, maple syrup, vegan Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
Combine the two dips in one bowl, swirling them together but not completely mixing them together. (If you want to mix them completely, that is fine too. I just like the presentation of a swirl and tasting them on their own in the same bowl.)
