Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder - vegan protein powder
¼ cup peanut butter
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2–3 tbsp milk (as needed)
4–6 mini Reese's Cups, chopped
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine oats, protein powder, and cocoa powder.
Add peanut butter and honey, mixing until a thick dough forms.
Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture holds together (soft but not sticky).
Fold in chopped Reese’s Cups evenly throughout the mixture.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon and roll into balls.
Place on a tray and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
Key Tweaks
This is where most people mess it up—small adjustments make a big difference:
Chop small → Reese’s melt soft
Optional: freeze chopped pieces for 10 min first → helps them hold shape
Use chocolate protein powder if possible → balances the peanut butter sweetness
Add a pinch of salt (optional but powerful) → makes it taste more like a real dessert
Pro Tips
Too sticky → add 1–2 tbsp oats
Too dry → add a little more peanut butter or honey
Want it richer → drizzle melted chocolate on top after chilling
Want more “Reese’s vibe” → add 1–2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
