Ingredients
  

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter softened (or vegan butter for dairy-free)
  • 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • White chocolate chips or candy melts, for decorating
  • Halloween sprinkles (ghosts, pumpkins, or spooky silhouettes)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and Greek yogurt until smooth and light—about 2–3 minutes with an electric mixer. You’ll see it turn pale; that’s your cue.
  • Stir in sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Mix just until no dry streaks remain. It’ll look thick—like brownie batter but slightly drier.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour and salt. Gradually fold the dry mix into the chocolate batter until combined; avoid overmixing or you’ll get chewy bites, and we want tender.
  • Gently fold mini chocolate chips into the batter with a silicone spatula, saving a handful for topping.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out truffle-sized mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press down lightly so each is about 1 inch thick. Sprinkle tops with reserved chips.
  • Pop the baking sheet into the fridge for at least 30 minutes—this firms them up so the decorations stick.
  • Melt white chocolate chips or candy melts according to package instructions. Drizzle or pipe little ghost faces, tiny pumpkin grins, or random spooky shapes. Let set, then transfer treats to a festive platter.

Notes

Chilling longer makes the flavor pop. Add a tsp of milk or extra yogurt if too dry. Toast the flour for deeper flavor. Stir a bit of vegetable oil into melted candy melts for smooth decorations.
