Peppermint chocolate amazeballs
This protein-packed and portable snack are just like our favorite Christmas treats. It reminds me so much of peppermint bark minus the sugar crash. These protein bites a delicious and healthy little snack.
- Prep Time: 5
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder (I used Truvani)
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1/4 cup almond meal (or oat flour)
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter you have on hand)
- 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup to thin it out
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup crushed candy canes + more for rolling
Instructions
- In a food processor, crush the candy canes and set aside. I leave a little bit in the processor to mix in with the dough, too!
- Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and pulse until a dough forms. Add more maple syrup if needed.
- Roll into 6-8 balls, using a melon ball scooper and your hands.
- Roll each ball into crushed candy cane.
- Store covered in the fridge.
Notes
- This recipe is so easy to customize! Feel free to use dried fruit, chocolate chips, nuts, or anything you have on hand instead of candy canes.
