Ingredients
- 2 large scoops of WillPowders Chocolate Protein (you can use any)
- 6 Pitted Dates
- 2 tbsp of Peanut Butter (or any nut butter)
- 1 pinch of Celtic Sea Salt
- 100g of Dark Chocolate
- Chopped Nuts
Method
Step 1
In a food processor, pulse the 6 pitted dates until they break down into a sticky paste.
Step 2
Add the 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 2 large scoops of chocolate protein powder.
Step 3
Pulse again until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency. The mixture should not be too sticky; if it's too dry, add a small splash of water or a little more peanut butter.
Step 4
Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about the size of a walnut. The mixture should hold together well without being sticky.
Step 5
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
Step 6
Dip each protein ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in the chopped nuts for extra crunch and flavour.
Step 7
Sprinkle with a little Celtic Sea Salt (optional)
Step 8
Place the coated balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
