Protein Dark Chocolate Truffles
With the football season coming to a close, it’s time to start thinking about parties for the Big Game and of course the recipes you will be making! In preparation, I’ve teamed up with my football blogger friends in one final collaboration to bring you some amazing Big Game recipe ideas. We’ve made appetizers, entrees, desserts and even drinks. Prepare to be inspired, and be sure to check out their links below. These Protein Dark Chocolate Truffles are a healthy treat to balance out your spread of all the other amazingly delicious and fatty treats normally shared at parties!
This Protein Smoothie Booster is the perfect addition to these truffles to amp up the nutritional content. If you are having a lazy moment…which I have all the time, so trust me I can relate, you can simply just include the protein powder. The one thing you don’t want to skip out on is the amazing Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter. I could eat this stuff by the spoonful and be happy, but I figured I better whip it into something a little more socially acceptable. 😉
I will need all the chocolate and therapeutic food I can get to watch the Big Game myself. My Vikings didn’t even make it into the playoffs and our rival the Packers have been making their way to the championship. On the bright side, at least I have a team to passionately cheer against!
Don’t forget to check out all of the other bloggers who are cheering on different teams with amazing recipes below!
Protein Dark Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
- ½ c. Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter
- ½ c. Protein Smoothie Booster or 4 scoops whey protein booster + 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp. honey (add more if your prefer it sweeter) Coupons
- ½ c. dark chocolate chips
- 2 tsp. coconut oil
Instructions
- Add the peanut butter, protein booster and honey to a food processor. (If you don't have a food processor you could use a hand beater with medium bowl instead.)
- Pulse the mixture until it is well combined. Roll it into 15 small balls and arrange them on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- When the truffles have chilled, in a small bowl combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20 second increments, stirring vigorously each time. Microwave just until all of the chocolate chips have melted.
- Coat the chilled truffles in the dark chocolate, shaking off any excess. (If the chocolate begins to thicken while you are coating them, return it to the microwave for 20 seconds.)
- Place the truffles on a lined baking sheet and return to the refrigerator. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

chocolate peanut butter is always the best combination! Also love the protein boost! It helps me to maintain at least some kind of balance that I don’t feel when I’m eating pure carbohydrates, thank you for this recipe!
It’s all about the balance! 🙂
