Place the chickpeas, protein powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and half the almond milk into a food processor. Process for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula, until the mixture is completely smooth. If the dough stays crumbly and won't clump together, add the remaining almond milk a little at a time and process again until it holds together when pressed.
Transfer the dough to a small bowl. Taste and add a tiny pinch more salt if needed to balance the sweetness. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Place the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up the dough.
Remove the dough from the freezer. Using slightly damp hands to prevent sticking, roll the dough into 6 even balls, about 1 inch wide. Serve immediately while chilled.
