dark chocolate & nut butter bites
These dark chocolate and nut butter bites are an excellent alternative to everyday, shop-bought chocolate, or maybe like a grown-up version. Dark chocolate, nut butter and sea salt work really well together, and one or two squares are usually enough to feel satisfied.
Collagen is optional in this recipe, but if you’ve got some at hand, do go for it for some extra protein and turn this dessert into a very friendly treat for stable energy levels whenever you decide to have it.
I hope you enjoy!
