Notes
*I used a plant based protein powder in this recipe, but other protein powders should work, too. If using vanilla protein powder, just add an extra teaspoon of cocoa powder.
**HERE'S A USEFUL TIP! Add 1-2 teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate to thin the chocolate. This is how I got the really thin white chocolate coating on the bars.
