Nut Job Choc Protein Balls

So here's my nut-job protein balls recipe. Kind of matches my personality at times ;-) I haven't met anyone who doesn't like my super chocolaty nutty protein balls and often people cannot believe they are actually good for you! Personally, I love these tasty energy snacks because they give me great energy for my cycling classes and often if i have one of these I get my watt max or attain a high power average per kg of body weight on the IC Matrix bikes when teaching at Fitness First. Also it's one of the only things I can actually eat before cycling classes, without feeling nauseous during the class.
