Hemp Protein & Carob-Mint Fudge Bites (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free)

Prepare the fudge mixture: In a large bowl, combine the hemp protein powder, carob powder, and coconut flour. Stir in the almond butter, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, peppermint extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until everything is well combined and forms a thick, sticky dough.

Shape the fudge bites: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the fudge mixture and roll them into balls. If desired, roll the balls in shredded coconut to coat them for an extra layer of texture and flavor.

Chill the fudge bites: Place the fudge bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm and set.

Serve: Once chilled, enjoy the fudge bites as a healthy, satisfying snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
