Scale

- 1/2 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil

- Top the peanut butter layer with another spoonful of melted chocolate, fully covering the peanut butter mixture.
- Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate has completely hardened.

Notes
- These cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
