These simple chocolate balls contain just 8 ingredients and don't require an oven or a blender! Not only do these little treats taste unbelievably good, they are also full of protein and good fats thanks to the almonds and nuts. Coated in dark chocolate and containing little drops of jam, these protein balls are a must for any chocolate lover.

Divide the mixture into 12 portions, flatten slightly. Place 1 frozen drop of jam on top of each portion, wrap the mixture around the jam and shape into balls. Place the balls on a tray and freeze for at least 2 hrs.
