Ingredients

  • 2/3 C 174g Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/3 C 74g Light Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 scoops 62g Vanilla Protein Powder*
  • 1/4 C 36g Powdered Sugar**
  • 1/2 C 112g Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Mix the butter, peanut butter, and vanilla together in a food processor until smooth.
  • Add the protein powder and powdered sugar and blend/mix until crumbly. The mixture will be slightly dry, but you should be able to use a spatula to press everything together. (If your mixture is too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of water.)
  • Divide the mixture into 16 small balls, 21-22g each. Roll each ball between your palms to smooth and place on a parchment lined baking sheet that can fit in your freezer. If a ball is crumbly or falling apart, squeeze it together in your hand and continue working it together until you can roll into a smooth ball. Freeze the balls for 15-20 minutes.
  • Microwave chocolate chips in a small bowl in 15-20 second intervals, stirring at each interval, until melted and smooth.
  • Stick a toothpick in a peanut butter ball and dip in the chocolate. Smooth the toothpick hole with your fingers after removing.
  • 6.Refrigerate and serve chilled.

Notes

*I used PEScience Select, which is a whey and casein blend. Other protein powders may require slight adjustments to reach the desired consistency. You can use my affiliate discount code 'mason' to save 15% on PEScience products.
**I used Swerve Confectioners, which is a zero-calorie powdered sugar substitute.
Each buckeye has 4 WW SmartPoints (blue).
