If you want to have a treat that tastes just like a Reese’s peanut butter cup but has protein and fiber and won’t leave you feeling guilty…then look no further! You are going to love this!!
Prep time: 10 minutes Cool in the Refrigerator for 30 minutes minimum 10-12 silicon heart molds Ingredients 1 ½ ounce 60% dark chocolate 1 ½ ounces of 86% dark chocolate 2 tsp vanilla extract 2 Tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp coconut oil 1 cup creamy peanut butter, no sugar ¼ cup honey ½ cup plain protein powder (I used earth chimp protein powder. 35 grams of powder equals 21 grams of protein!) 1/3 cup flax seed meal *OPTIONAL: A finishing salt like maldon or Singing Dog vanilla salt Directions 1-In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, 2 Tbsp coconut oil, vanilla until smooth. 2-Next add in the protein powder and flaxseed meal. Mix well until smooth. 3-Using a Tbsp, place 2 Tbsp of the mixture into the mold and smooth down with finger tips. Repeat for 10-12 molds. 4- In a microwavable bowl, add the 2 types of chocolates and 1 tsp coconut oil. Place in microwave for 15-20 second and stir immediately. Repeat 15 seconds more and stir until silky smooth. 5-Pour about 2 tsp worth of melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter mixture and move the mold around until every part is covered in chocolate. Repeat. 6- If there is some chocolate remaining, add it to the molds where needed 7-Place in the refrigerator for at least 3o minutes. Sprinkle finishing salt on top and serve! **You can sprinkle the finishing salt on before placing in the refrigerator if you prefer. ***If you crave more chocolate, then double the chocolate portion, go through the steps and before placing the treats in the refrigerator spread the extra chocolate equally on top of each treat. You will create a sandwich.
