It seems like everywhere I look, everyone is making the TikTok-famous Snickers-flavored yogurt cup that comes complete with a chocolatey magic shell topping. The kind you can hardly wait to sink your spoon into.
The viral video posted by Monique Volz, the founder of Ambitious Kitchen, now has more than five million views and nearly 500,000 likes. And it’s easy to see why everyone is obsessed: the recipe is super simple and uses ingredients you likely already have at home.
First, you grab some yogurt and mix in a little peanut butter. Then add melted dark chocolate on top and sprinkle on some peanuts and sea salt. After freezing for 10 minutes, the chocolate shell hardens and it comes out tasting like a Snickers ice cream bar. What could be better?

One quick scroll through the comment section will make you want to give the dessert a try. But if you’re looking to lessen your environmental impact by making a vegan version, you’re in luck. With a couple of tweaks, creating a dairy-free version of the original is a breeze.
To make this dessert vegan, simply swap the dairy yogurt for a dairy-free version. Some of the most popular brands you can find at chain stores include So Delicious, Silk, and Siggi’s. Then, ensure your dark chocolate bar doesn’t contain milk. Lily’s, Alter Eco, Chocolove, Theo, and Hu Kitchen all have vegan options available.
One other way to make your dessert more eco-friendly is to skip the single-serve plastic yogurt containers most people are opting for when making this recipe. Instead, buy a larger tub (if the option is available) and add your desired amount of yogurt to a small bowl to enjoy. It’s a simple way to cut down on plastic waste.
