  2. Add the flour, protein powder, salt, and mini chocolate chips. Mix to form a thick dough.
  3. Scoop/roll into balls. Freeze 2 hours.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate chips.
  5. Use a toothpick to pick up each dough ball and dip in the dark chocolate, coating all sides and allowing excess to run off to get a thin snappy coating. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.

  7. Keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
