Ingredients

½ cup - creamy peanut butter
⅓ cup - protein powder
2 tablespoons - honey
1 ½ cups - dark chocolate chips
1 tbsp - melted coconut oil
flaky sea salt

Instructions

Place (12) paper or foil liners in the cavities of a standard muffin tin.
Place the peanut butter, protein powder and honey in a medium mixing bowl and stir until no lumps of protein powder remain. You can also use a mixer to beat the ingredients until combined. The mixture will be a soft dough that is very easy to work with.
Form the peanut butter mixture into (12) flattened discs (about 1 tablespoon each) and set aside.
Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave safe bowl and stir to combine. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, then stir, and microwave for 30 – 60 seconds longer and stir until the chocolate chips have completely melted.
Place 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate in the bottom of each paper lined muffin cup and spread the chocolate up the sides a bit. Place a peanut butter disc into the chocolate in each muffin cup, then drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon over the top of each peanut butter discs until completely covered. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt as desired and chill in the refrigerator for up to 3 hours or until set. Remove from the paper liners and enjoy!
