Protein Peanut Butter Cups

These taste so much better than the classic, and they’re made with just a few simple ingredients plus protein powder for extra nutrition!  

I use Equip Foods protein powder, which is a clean protein powder made from beef! It's my go-to for desserts and sweet treats like these chocolates to up the protein content and add in more health benefits.

(makes about 24 mini cups)

Ingredients

For the filling:

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

2 scoops protein powder

2 tbsp maple syrup

For the chocolate layers:

2/3 cups 100% chocolate chips

2 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp maple syrup

Directions

Combine the filling ingredients in a bowl and mix well until fully incorporated. It should be a doughy consistency

Add the chocolate ingredients to a small pot and heat on low until fully melted. Fill a candy mold (or mini cupcake liners) with a layer of the chocolate, then place in the freezer for about 10 minutes until hardened

Add small discs of the filling to each mold then cover with the remaining chocolate. Return to the freezer to harden for another 10 minutes then enjoy!
