Ingredients
- 1 bag dark chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 cup almond butter (I used crunchy for added crunch, but smooth works great)

- Flaky sea salt, as garnish
Instructions
- Line a standard sized muffin pan with parchment paper liners.
- Add 1 cup chocolate and 1 T coconut oil to a medium sized mixing bowl and melt either using a double broiler or microwaving in 30 second intervals.
- Distribute melted chocolate evenly almond the muffin cups.
- Tap the tray to remove any air bubbles and transfer to the fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine almond butter, honey, and protein powder.
- Spoon a dollop to the middle of the cups and flatten with a spoon.
- Melt the remaining chocolate and coconut oil and spoon on top of the almond butter.
- Top them off with a sprinkle of sea salt and transfer to the freezer.
