Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Stir in the almond flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and sea salt until no dry spots remain.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1 to 2 tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared tray.
  5. Chill the balls in the freezer for 15 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
  6. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
