Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Filling

  • ½ cup Powdered Peanut Butter dry, easy to mix
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder adds structure and nutrition
  • ½ cup Water moisture for mixing

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips rich flavor and smooth texture
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil helps to thin chocolate and adds moisture

Instructions
 

Preparation of Filling

  • Combine the powdered peanut butter and protein powder in a mixing bowl.
  • Slowly add the water while stirring until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

Melting Chocolate

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
  • Microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

Assembling Cups

  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Pour a layer of melted chocolate into the bottom of each cup.
  • Chill in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has set.
  • Spoon a portion of the peanut butter mixture over the set chocolate layer.
  • Pour the remaining melted chocolate on top until completely covered.
  • Return to the fridge and let everything set completely, around 30 minutes.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality dark chocolate, ensure the peanut butter mixture is smooth, and chill layers properly to avoid collapsing.
