Steps
Combine the almond butter, protein powder, almond flour, molasses, almond milk, vanilla extract, salt and spices in a food processor and process until a thick dough is formed. If the mixture is too dry, add additional milk, 1 tbsp at a time until you get a smooth but thick, cookie dough consistency
Roll into 18 round truffles. Place in refrigerator to set.
While that dough sets, prepare the coating. Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a bowl and melt in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
Roll the truffles in the melted chocolate, then place on Parchment paper. Sprinkle with gold sanding sugar then let harden at room temperature.
Store in an air-tight container until ready to eat.
