Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your collagen peptides and almond butter. Blend until smooth and fully incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to the mixture. Stir until completely integrated, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gradually mix in melted dark chocolate until you achieve a uniform texture, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Shape the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter, aiming for 10-12 balls total.
  5. Refrigerate the formed balls on a tray lined with parchment paper for 20-30 minutes until firm.
  6. For optional chocolate coating, melt additional dark chocolate and roll each chilled ball in it, then refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 10-15 minutes.
