Instructions

Over low heat melt together the coconut oil and chocolate chips. Remove from heat before the chips are fully melted.
In the meantime, mix together the peanut butter, protein powder, vanilla, and almond milk.
Press the peanut butter mixture into mini silicone muffin molds. Make sure to press down hard so that they stick together.
When chocolate is melted, divide and pour on top of the peanut butter cup mixture. Pop in the freezer to set.

Notes

Protein powder is slightly unique in its breakdown which means that the kind you choose is going to affect the texture of the filling. Make sure to really mix your filling ingredients so that the peanut butter mixture is smooth and not grainy.
Heat the chocolate chips over very low heat and you want to remove them once they are just starting to melt. Otherwise, you're going to burn your chocolate chips and then they will become too thick to use.
You can store these protein peanut butter cups in the freezer or the fridge after they have set. Though you can eat them right out of the freezer they taste best at room temperature when they've had time to sit for a few minutes and get. This is when will be the most creamy.
Recipe makes 6 large (muffin cup size) peanut butter cups or 12 mini, bite-sized cups. The nutrition is based on 2 mini cups per serving.
