Notes

Pro tip: If the mixture feels crumbly, refrigerate 10 minutes longer before rolling; it should clump when pressed. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days; freeze for up to 2 months. For a dairy-free option, keep the chocolate chips dairy-free and use dairy-free protein powder if needed.
