Chocolate heaven. I played with this recipe several times before getting it right, but let me tell you, it turned out delish! I even gave some to my mom, not telling her they were a healthy version of her favorite candy. She LOVED them and asked for more. So here is my Dark Chocolate Orange Cream Protein Bites recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt
- 2 TSP Orange Flavoring
- 2 TBSP Orange Jel
- 1/2 Scoop AboutTime Orange Creamsicle Protein Powder *Use code HAPPILYHUGHES*
- 2 Cups Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers
- Candy Mold
- Orange Zest to taste
Directions:
- Melt 2/3 cup chocolate wafers in microwave according to directions on box. Pour into candy mold, filling just the bottom part. Swirl the dark chocolate up onto the sides a bit then place into the fridge. Let harden for 20 minutes.
- Pour the greek yogurt, protein powder, jel, and orange flavoring into a mixer and whip on medium speed. I added a couple drops of orange food coloring to make the cream more orange. Once well mixed, take the candy mold out of the fridge.
- Use a teaspoon to scoop out the greek yogurt mixture and put a dollop in each mold.
- Place back in the fridge. Then microwave remaining chocolates.
- Pull mold out of the fridge and pour the remaining chocolate into the mold.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
*Keep these refrigerated at all times. They’re the perfect cool sweet tooth cure for those hot summer days!*
