👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl combine:

  • Peanut butter
  • Protein powder
  • Almond flour
  • Sweetener
  • Vanilla
  • Salt

Mix until smooth and thick.

If too dry → add 1 teaspoon milk.
If too soft → add 1 tablespoon almond flour.

Fold in chopped peanuts if using.

2️⃣ Shape the Bites

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls.

Place on parchment-lined tray.

Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.

3️⃣ Melt the Chocolate

In microwave-safe bowl:

  • Melt chocolate chips
  • Stir every 20–30 seconds
  • Add coconut oil and stir until smooth

4️⃣ Coat the Bites

Dip each frozen peanut butter ball into melted chocolate.

Use fork to lift and tap off excess chocolate.

Place back on parchment.

Optional: Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top before chocolate sets.

5️⃣ Chill to Set

Refrigerate 15–20 minutes until chocolate hardens.
