Make the truffle dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine cashew butter, almond milk, maple syrup, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Add cocoa powder and protein powder- mix until well incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
If the mixture feels too soft, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
Shape the truffles:
Scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray.
Prepare the chocolate coating:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Coat the truffles:
Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined tray.
Add the peppermint crunch:
Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the coated truffles before the chocolate hardens.
Chill and serve:
Refrigerate the truffles for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate shell sets. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
