Chocolate Almond Fat Bombs are a friendly, decadent and indulgent snack. Perfect for days you need to increase your fat intake or are craving a Hershey’s bar.
Fat bombs were something it took me a while to wrap my head around. Fat bombs are essentially a high fat snack, usually something sweet and/or cream cheese-based, that you eat to increase your daily fat intake.
Now fat bombs, like these Almond Chocolate Fat Bombs, are an almost daily habit. I love them in the afternoon for a snack and pick-me-up.
Almond Chocolate Fat Bombs can be thought of a bit like a Hershey’s Chocolate Almond Bar…but one that fits perfectly with the my diet. Before starting my journey, I almost always grabbed a Hershey’s almond bar at the grocery store checkout…today, I skip that and enjoy an almond chocolate fat bomb instead.
These fat bombs are made in a mini muffin tin so they’re the perfect bite-size treat.
How To Make Almond Chocolate Fat Bombs:
Step 1. Melt coconut oil and almond butter together over medium-low heat
Step 2. Add in your preferred friendly powdered sweetener, adjusting amounts to your preference.
Step 3. Whisk in unsweetened cocoa powder.
Step 4. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
Step 5. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
Step 6. Pour mixture into measuring cup with a spout.
Step 7. Fill each cup in a greased mini muffin pan with the mixture.
Step 8. Place the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove, press an almond into the center of each cup.
Step 9. Return to the freezer for 3-4 hours.
Enjoy!
