Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peanut butter (I use natural)
  • 1/2 cup Just Ingredients French Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups Enjoy Life chocolate chips divided
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil divided (1 tbsp for every 1/2 cup of chips)

Method
 

  1. Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1 tbsp coconut oil until smooth.
  2. Spoon melted chocolate into the bottom of each silicone mold until the bottoms are covered. Melt a second batch (1/2 cup chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil) if you need more to cover the bottoms. Refrigerate about 15 minutes until firm.
  3. Mix the peanut butter and protein powder until fully combined.
  4. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture to each mold, pressing it into an even layer.
  5. Refrigerate or freeze for another 10 to 15 minutes to let the peanut butter layer firm up.
  6. Melt 1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips with 1 tbsp coconut oil. Cover each cup with the chocolate.
  7. Refrigerate or freeze for 20 to 30 minutes until completely set, or refrigerate overnight. Pop them out of the molds and store in a container in the fridge or freezer.
