Spiced Chocolate Protein Balls
Serves 12
Our Spiced Chocolate Power Balls are a supremely spicy snack to get you going whenever your energy dips. This recipe was written by the wonderfully talented Sarah Fassnidge, who also took the photos you see here.
Our 63% cacao couverture is the perfect cooking chocolate for these Spiced Chocolate Power Balls, as cacao from Madagascar naturally has a bright flavour profile that many compare to orange, raspberries and cranberries. These notes balance with the spices perfectly.
