*Thank you Vital Proteins for sponsoring today's post so that I can share this recipe with all of you. As always, all opinions are mine.*

I have made these twice in the last week because my friends keep asking for them. They are just as delicious as these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles (Eggless). They are fairly healthy. There is no butter, no margarine, no shortening, no granulated sugar. That being said, they still look so beautiful and taste incredible. If you are fond of using chocolate chips in desserts, be sure to also try these White Chocolate Chip Cookies (With Cake Mix) and this Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake (With Cake Mix).

Key ingredients

• Coconut oil- Keep it in a solid state, not melted.
• Honey- For best results, use raw honey.
• Vanilla- Adds a bit of flavor and warmth.
• Protein powder- I used unflavored powder but this is optional and can be omitted, too.
• Almond flour- This type works best compared to all-purpose flour.
• Chocolate chips- You need mini semisweet ones and others for melting.

Variations

• Turn these into fudgy brownie bars- Add cocoa powder in the mixture to make it richer and enhance the chocolate flavor. It gives it a nice, rich brownie flavor, similar to these Fudgy Brownies with Crackly Tops.
• Add m&m candies- Replace the chocolate chips with these candies. They should be mini sized.
• Make a birthday version- Mix in 1 tablespoon sprinkles for a fun, festive touch.
• For a peanut butter flavor- You can replace half the coconut oil with creamy peanut butter or you can make these these Eggless Peanut Butter Bars.
• Spread the dough in a rectangular cake pan- Chill in the fridge for an hour and then top it off with melted chocolate. Once the chocolate sets, cut squares and enjoy.
• For a vegan version- Omit collagen peptides and replace honey with maple syrup.
• Try other extracts- Almond or coconut would be good choices. If you really enjoy the flavor of almond, check out my Almond Buttercream Frosting and Easy Almond Cupcakes for your next treat.
• Other add-in options- Can include roughly chopped pretzels, candy bars, nuts, dried fruits, mini M&Ms, or shredded coconut.
• For a hazelnut flavor- Replace half the coconut oil with Nutella-one of my favorite spreads. In fact, I made Easy Nutella Cookies and Mini Nutella Cheesecake (No Bake) to curb my cravings.
• Just eat it- You can simply eat this dough by the spoonful in a bowl, if you like.
• For the coating on these bars- You can use melted semisweet, milk, dark or even white chocolate.
• Add sea salt- On the top layer of chocolate before placing it in the fridge.
• Spice it up- By adding different spices to the melted chocolate like pumpkin spice, ginger, or cinnamon.

Tips and techniques

• Don't melt the coconut oil- Or else the cookie dough will become too soft and hard to manage.
• Try to use raw honey- Because it tastes the best and is also thicker.
• If you don't have a chocolate mold- You can roll the dough into little balls and chill them. Then, dip them in melted chocolate and let it set and you can enjoy cookie dough balls or truffles. You can also do what I did with these Homemade Gourmet Chocolates and use ice cube trays as a mold. Or just purchase ones on Amazon like I did for these.
• Yield amount varies- The number of bars you get from this recipe will depend on the size of your mold.
• Use mini chocolate chips- In the dough because you can enjoy them the best in each bite. The regular sized chocolate chips are just too big for these kind of treats, including these Homemade Granola Bars.
• To melt chocolate- Simply place in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high in 30 second intervals, stirring each time.
• Chill chocolate- In the fridge for at least 10 minutes to set up. Do not put them in the freezer for a faster chill time, because this creates white streaks in the chocolate and they won't be as pretty.
• Dough consistency- If you feel that the dough is too thick then simply mix in milk or water a little at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. If it's too thin or too sticky then simply add in protein powder or almond flour a little at a time.
• Protein powder can be omitted- If you don't have any or just don't want any in this recipe, just replace it with some more almond flour.

I added Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides in this dough because it gives it a boost of nutrition without even changing the texture or flavor. They also come in small individual packets now, making it so convenient to carry it around with you on road trips. I have been raving about this product for months and it's seriously amazing for the health of your skin, bones, hair, nails.
