½ Cup Peanut Butter
2 Tablespoons Syrup Sugar Free, Honey, or Maple
1 Ounce Milk or Milk Substitute (Almond, Coconut, Cashew)
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 Scoops Protein Powder Choose a complementing flavor (Vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, banana, salted caramel, cookies & cream!)
½ Teaspoon Salt *Optional for topping and if you used unsalted Peanut Butter
1 Tablespoon Coconut Flour *Optional if your mix is too wet
¼ Cup Chocolate Chips Your choice (I like dark!)

Add all your ingredients into a mixing bowl aside from your Chocolate Chips
Mix everything together until combined, it should end up "gritty" and not completely smooth (think sand texture)
If it's too wet/smooth, add in your optional Coconut Flour
Place 8 Silicone Cups (preferred for easy peel) or Paper Cup Liners onto a baking sheet
Evenly distribute your mix into them and use your hands to compact your mix into the bottom of each one until it's flat
Melt your Chocolate Chips on the stovetop or in the microwave (fastest) using :30 second intervals, mixing, and repeating until melted
Add around 1/2 of a tablespoon of your melted chocolate to the top of each one and use the bottom of that tablespoon to "smooth" out that layer
Top with optional Flaky Salt or anything else you want
Put them into the fridge or freezer (preferred) for around 30 minutes so that your chocolate can harden

Each "cup" is 2x the size of the "real" thing so keep that in mind!
