Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • ½ cup roasted honey peanut butter (such as Skippy®)

  • ½ cup chocolate protein powder

  • 2 solo black garlic bulbs

  • 2 tablespoons Neufchatel cheese, softened

  • 2 tablespoons sanding sugar, or as needed

Directions

  1. Combine peanut butter, protein powder, black garlic, and Neufchatel cheese in a mini food processor. Pulse until well combined.

  2. Roll mixture into sixteen 1-inch balls. Roll in sanding sugar. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Cook's Note:

I chose to roll the protein bites in sanding sugar but you can roll them in chopped nuts, coconut, cocoa powder, or candy sprinkles.
