They’re creamy, chocolatey, and have the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Plus, they’re super easy to make, aren’t loaded with sugar, and have 10 grams of protein PER HEART! I love to keep this handy all month long for the perfect sweet treat! The combination of protein and fat will also help keep you full if you decide to have these as a midday snack!

Substitutions:

  • Peanut Butter Alternative: Swap peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter if you have allergies or want a different flavor.

  • Protein Powder: Use any vanilla, peanutbutter, or chocolate protein powder you love.

  • Make this completely dairy free: Swap whey protein for your favorite plant-based protein.

  • Chocolate Chips: Feel free to use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or dairy-free chocolate as per your preference.

  • Sweetness: If you want extra sweetness, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the peanut butter mixture.

FAQs

  • No, they need to stay in the fridge or freezer to maintain their shape and texture!

  • They stay fresh for up to 2 months in an airtight container.

  • Yes! You can replace the protein powder with additional PB2 for a similar consistency. They just won’t be as high in protein!
