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!
Vegan Peanut Butter Balls, Frozen Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites, Vegan Peanut Butter Brownies, Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge, or Snickers Bites are a great way to get your chocolate peanut butter fix.
Other dip recipes are my Vegan Fruit Dip recipe, Dark Chocolate Hummus, and Gingerbread Hummus recipe. They are both out of this world good!
🧾 Ingredients
- Peanut butter: Adds a rich nutty flavor. I used all-natural peanut butter. Use whatever your favorite is. Another peanut butter recipe is my Vegan Peanut Butter Pudding.
- 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.)
