Instructions
-
Melt the Ingredients: In a pot, combine the coconut oil, almond butter, cocoa powder, ground almonds, and salt. Place the pot over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients have melted together, creating a thick batter.
-
Cool the Mixture: Once the mixture is well-combined and melted, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This will help it firm up slightly before shaping into balls.
-
Shape the Fat Bombs: Using your hands or a spoon, roll the cooled mixture into 12 small balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
-
Chill: Place the tray in the fridge and let the chocolate fat bombs cool and harden for about an hour. This allows them to set and become perfectly firm.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the fat bombs are fully chilled and set, they are ready to serve. Enjoy this decadent, low-carb treat as a quick breakfast, snack, or post-workout fuel!
