6. After those 15 minutes, place the protein peanut butter balls on top of the hardened chocolate, flattening the ball with your finger until it creates a smooth top surface.
7. Finally, add two more tsp of melted chocolate onto the top of the flattened peanut butter to complete the protein peanut butter cup.
8. Place the muffin tin back in the freezer until the cups are completely hardened.
