• Swap Greek yoghurt for a lactose free yoghurt if needed

• Choose a chocolate coating that suits your tolerance

For a plant forward version

• This recipe cannot be fully vegan due to the WPI, but you can still make it more plant focused.

• Swap Greek yoghurt for a coconut or almond yoghurt

• Use a dairy free style chocolate if preferredChoose a plant based milk such as almond or oat milk

Nut butter swaps

•  Replace almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter

•  For a nut free option, use tahini or sunflower seed butter

Chocolate options

•  Any chocolate can be used based on your preferences

•  Dark chocolate works well for a richer flavour

Rolling and texture tips

• Wet your hands slightly if the mixture feels sticky
