I'm putting my twist on the classic Buckeyes with this version that is lower in sugar and higher in protein (thanks to the cottage cheese that you can't taste + protein powder) than the traditional version. This 4 ingredient no bake treat is sure to be a winner!

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Blend cottage cheese and peanut butter until smooth - it should turn into a dough consistency (I did this in a ninja blender but a small food processor should work).
Pour into a bowl and add the protein powder and mix.
Roll into balls with a rounded TBS and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
Freeze for 15 min.
Melt chocolate. With a toothpick, dip the balls into the chocolate and coat the sides leaving the top free of chocolate to serve as the “eye”.
Freeze for 10 min and enjoy!
