Snickers Protein Bites

These Snickers Protein Bites are the BEST sweet treat for whenever you’re craving something chocolatey! Made with a protein peanut butter crust, whipped cottage cheese filling, and a chocolate sea salt topping, every bite is so good. I also love that 2 of these protein bites have 8 grams of protein and less than 100 calories! Make a big batch of this super easy treat and keep these on hand for anytime you’re craving one.

Snickers Protein Bites Recipe

I’ve been making these Snickers Protein Bites on repeat lately and I can’t get over how good they are. They’re creamy, chocolatey, and have that perfect peanut crunch on top! And I love that they come together in under 30 minutes.

They almost taste like Snickers cheesecakes bites, but with a chocolatey topping. If you’ve been looking for a quick healthy desert that’s made with better-for-you ingredients and is higher in protein, you’ll love this easy Snickers Protein Bites Recipe!

Ingredients

• Vanilla Protein Powder (opens in a new tab) – Adds a boost of protein and flavor. Any plant-based or whey protein will work here!
• PB2 (opens in a new tab) – The powdered peanut butter creates that rich, nutty flavor without the extra fat. You can sub in natural peanut butter if needed.
• Coconut Oil
• Cottage Cheese (opens in a new tab) – Trust me on this one! When blended, it becomes ultra creamy and is packed with protein. Whole milk Greek yogurt works great, too!
• Maple Syrup – Just a little to sweeten things up naturally. Honey or agave syrup are great substitutions.
• Vanilla Extract
• Chocolate Chips – Melted into a smooth topping. I like using dark chocolate chips, but any kind are great.
• Chopped Peanuts – Totally optional, but they add that iconic Snickers crunch and make these bites feel extra fun!

TIP: I also love adding a little bit of flaky sea salt over each bite!

How to Make Snickers Protein Bites

These protein bites are so easy to make! All you’ll need is a small blender (opens in a new tab) and a mini muffin pan to get started. Here’s how to make Snickers Protein Bites:

1. Make the crust – Mix the protein powder, PB2, and melted coconut oil together and press into a mini muffin pan.
2. Blend the base – Combine cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla, PB2, and protein powder in a blender until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble – Spoon the filling over the crust layer in each muffin cavity.
4. Top with chocolate – Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together, then add a thin layer over each bite.
5. Add toppings – Sprinkle on chopped peanuts and flaky salt if you’re feeling fancy!
6. Freeze – Let them set up in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes.

Tips

• Use a silicone mini muffin pan (opens in a new tab) to make popping these out a breeze. If you’re using a regular pan, line with mini paper liners.
• Set your muffin pan on a baking sheet before filling and freezing to keep everything level and sturdy.
• Don’t overdo the chocolate topping – Make sure the layer of chocolate is very thin (otherwise it’ll be too thick to bite through)!
• Add a pinch of flaky salt on top for that sweet-salty balance. Game changer!
