Chocolate Covering
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips of choice
- 1 Tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread such as Nutella or Nutiva

- Mix all ingredients together except the ingredients for the chocolate covering. Add more coconut flour (only a teaspoon at a time) if the dough is too soft, add a teaspoon or more of water, or almond milk if the dough is too thick****

Notes
*I used a plant-based protein powder. Whey protein powder also works, but the result was gummier.
