Ingredients
1 CupsSemi sweet dairy-free chocolate chips
1TbspCoconut oil
3TbspNatural creamy peanut butter(the no stir kind)
3TbspVanilla protein powder,of choice
Instructions
Line a mini muffin pan with 12 mini muffin liners.
Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe measuring cup and microwave on half power for 30 second intervals until smooth and melted.
Once melted, pour a THIN layer of the chocolate on the bottom of each cup. Place into the freezer for 5-10 minutes to harden.
While they harden, mix together the peanut butter and vanilla protein powder. It might be easiest to use your hands! Roll them into 12 1 tsp sized balls.
Once chilled, put one peanut butter ball in each cup and press out flat, leaving a little rim around the edges where you can see the chocolate underneath.
Fill the cups with the rest of the remaining chocolate.
Cover and place in the fridge for about 30 mins-1 hour to harden. **

Notes
