Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Prepare pan: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Make dough: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, protein powder, peanut powder, flaxseeds, maple syrup, and salt. Mix together with a spoon or spatula until well-combined. The texture should resemble a thick cookie dough and should form a ball when pressed together.
Add to pan: Transfer the dough to your loaf pan. Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press it onto parchment paper until it forms an even layer covering the pan. Make it as flat as you can.
Melt chocolate: In a microwave safe dish, microwave chocolate chips in 30-second intervals. Stir between each interval to avoid burning. Microwave until the chocolate chips are just melted and smooth.
Pour chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the dough. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to spread evenly over protein bars.
Refrigerate: Immediately top chocolate with sea salt and transfer to the fridge. Cool for at least 1 hour.
Slice: Remove the parchment paper and protein bars from the fridge and slice into squares. Keep stored in a covered container in the fridge and enjoy!
