Mix the protein powder into the container of Cool Whip.
Spread the protein, cool whip mixture into square silicone molds and freeze for 24 hours.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave at 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
De-mold the cool whip and dip each bite into the chocolate, letting any excess chocolate dip off, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Top with festive sprinkles before the chocolate starts to cool.
Place the chocolate bites back into the freezer until you're ready to use them.

Use candy melts for best results. The wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to other chocolate to help it melt and pour better.
Instead of a microwave, use a double boiler or a glass bowl over simmering water to melt chocolate evenly without burning it.
Use a fork to lift the pretzels out of the chocolate for a clean coat and to avoid sticky fingers.
Lay the chocolate covered treat on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
The 24 hours is needed otherwise they turn into a melty mess!
You could also just drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze - thus avoiding the need for molds.
Store these yummy treats in a large freezer bag or airtight container in the freezer for months.
