Merry Christmas Eve!

How about this for a failed recipe turned success??  So the other day I was making what I thought would be some really awesome red velvet white chocolate chip protein cookies…but then they went into the oven and turned into blobs.  Tasty, cake-y blobs, but really ugly, non-cookie blobs.  But I couldn’t let them go to waste!  Instead, I present to you…cookie crumble protein truffles!

The inside of these guys are like chocolate cake that’s been crumbled up and mixed with it’s icing 🙂  Yum.  If you want to cut down on some of the fat and sugar, sub out the white chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips.
I like the taste of the red velvet whey protein in this recipe, but you could definitely sub it out with some regular chocolate protein.  I don’t use red velvet often for baking (and I don’t like to drink it after my workouts because it’s too sweet), so I just bought a Cellucor sampler pack on Amazon.  You get 4 scoops per little sampler bag for $4.99 (and free Prime shipping!), so it’s perfect if you don’t want to commit to an entire 2lb tub.
