Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup rice malt syrup
  • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 10 raspberries
  • 75 g 85% dark chocolate

Method
 

  1. Mix peanut butter, rice malt syrup and protein powder together in a bowl. (add extra protein powder or some almond meal if the mixture is too wet, you want it to be workable like moist play dough).
  2. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions.
  3. Flatten each portion out on to a piece of baking paper and add 1 frozen raspberry into the centre of each. Bring edges up around the raspberry and roll into a ball.
  4. Place the balls in the fridge or freezer while melting the chocolate.
  5. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a bain-marie.
  6. Dip each of the balls into the melted chocolate, one at a time, and toss with a spoon or fork until evenly coated. Place back onto the baking paper and repeat with remaining balls.
  7. Once coated, refrigerate or freeze for 20-30 mins or until the chocolate has set.
