5. Leave the chocolate to cool slightly before mixing in the chocolate protein powder.

6. Dunk your protein nut bites into the chocolate and thoroughly coat them before laying them out to cool in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving! Add an optional sprinkle of desiccated coconut on top for some extra nutty flavour!
