📝 Ingredients

1 cup powdered peanut butter (PB2-style or similar)
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup powdered zero-calorie sweetener
½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons mini sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Pinch of salt

Optional High-Protein Addition:

2 tablespoons vanilla or chocolate protein powder
(Add 1–2 teaspoons extra yogurt if mixture becomes dry.)

Directions

Combine dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, mix powdered peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, protein powder (if using), and salt.
Add wet ingredients.
Stir in Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until a thick dough forms.
Adjust texture.
If the mixture feels too dry, add yogurt 1 teaspoon at a time until it becomes rollable.
Chill the mixture.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm the dough.
Roll into balls.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon per ball and roll into 24 evenly sized bites.
Add finishing touches.
Roll in cocoa powder, drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate, or add optional mini chocolate chips.
Store and serve.
