Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a small bowl. Microwave in 20 second increments, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate into the bottom of 6 large or 8-10 small Reese's-size molds. Tilt the mold to spread the melted chocolate over the bottom and sides of the molds. Transfer to the freezer and let set for 10-15 minutes or until firm.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and protein powder until well combined.
  • Remove the molds from the freezer and spread a spoonful or two of the peanut butter mixture into the chocolate-coated molds, smoothing the top as best as possible. Reheat the chocolate until melted again, then spoon the remaining chocolate on top of the peanut butter and smooth flat.
  • Return the mold to the freezer and set until firm, about 5-10 more minutes. Remove and invert the Reese’s from the mold.
