No Bake Protein Bites (Cookie Dough or Fudge Brownie)

0 Mix the wet & dry ingredients. Add almond flour, protein powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, milk & vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Mix with a fork (the batter will get stuck inside a whisk) until no clumps remain. The texture will vary depending on the type of protein powder you use. Ultimately it should be a bit fudgy and thick. If it’s way too thick, you can add a touch more milk 1 tsp at a time but be careful not to add more than an additional tbsp. You do want the batter to be thick. Note: step 1 will be the same for both the Cookie Dough & Fudge Brownie truffles but you will use a different flavor of protein powder for each per the ingredients in the recipe card.
1 Add chocolate chips. Fold in the mini chocolate chips if you are making the Cookie Dough protein bombs. Skip to step 3 if you are making the Fudge Brownie. 
2 Scoop the protein balls. Once chocolate chips are fully incorporated (if using), use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the batter into small balls. Set aside on a parchment lined baking sheet or plate until you have finished the batter. It should make approximately 12 small protein bites or 6 large.
3 Coat in chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 10-15 sec increments until smooth. Be sure to do this in short spurts so you do not burn the chocolate. Then, coat the truffles in the melted chocolate & place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle with additional chocolate & garnish with sea salt or cacao nibs if desired.
4 Chill. Leave in the fridge for at least 3 hours so the chocolate fully sets.
