- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup almond meal

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Melt chocolate and butter together over very low heat or in microwave. Stir together.
- While the chocolate and butter are melting, measure the almond meal, vanilla whey protein, baking soda, and salt, and stir together.
