This indulgently named recipe hides a guilt-free treat that is high in protein and low in sugar!

Greek yogurt with peanut butter and chocolate

A poignant memory from childhood includes myself, my dad, and Dairy Queen's Butterfinger Blizzard.

Slurp! I can almost taste the creamy goodness!

It would be just the two of us, as my brother, who is ten years my senior, was away in the military.

I loved being with my dad and talking to him. I miss him so much all the time.

February 26 will mark 23 years since he passed, so I guess I'm thinking a bit more about him right now.

Butterfinger copycat with Greek yogurt on a spoon

On a happier note, Butterfingers have been my favorite candy bar for as long as I can remember.

I used to love biting off the chocolate layer first and then eating the crisp, peanut butter-y candy, which would often get stuck in my molars.

I'll admit that calling this recipe a Butterfinger Blizzard is a bit of a stretch, but that's honestly what it reminds me of!

Full-fat Greek yogurt mixed with peanut butter and maple syrup, flaked by chocolate and then frozen for a time.

Recipe notes

I haven't tried this with low-fat yogurt or regular (not Greek) yogurt.

Add a bit of stevia if you'd like it sweeter.

      My goodness, I don't know how I managed to stumble across this recipe but it is amazing! I've never heard of a Butterfinger Blizzard. The picture looked so good so I thought I'd try it with a few tweaks (I'm dairy intolerant). The coconut greek yoghurt added a tangy flavour, no extra sugar needed and used dairy free dark chocolate. My kids are fussy eaters and they ask for this over ice-cream! I can't stop eating it! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe ❤️
