Caramel Apple Chocolate Protein Bites

Print
Recipe By Healthy Roots DIY
Apple pieces and real homemade caramel create a thick cookie dough style center wrapped in rich semisweet chocolate. Maple and cinnamon deepen the caramel apple flavor while keeping the center dense and satisfying. Homemade preparation avoids artificial caramel flavor, synthetic dyes, and unnecessary additives. Almond butter, almond flour, and protein powder create a satisfying base with protein and wholesome fats.
