FAT BOMBS!!! Because sometimes…..you just need to calm your food demon.
Have you ever heard of fat bombs? Sounds pretty gross if you ask me but it’s actually a delicious (kinda) little snack/food made from healthy fats. A lot of people use these high-fat morsels when they are doing keto diets, paleo diets, Atkins, or some other low carb-calorie diet-schmiet. Just kidding. I know people take their diets/lifestyles serious so let’s carry on. I don’t use these fat bombs in that way though.
Some call them a fad, but I call them a God-send!!! These little guys have helped me so much in losing my muffin top and maintaining my goal weight. Never thought I’d say that!
How I Use Fat Bombs
I use these peanut butter chocolate fat bombs to tide me over between meals and to satisfy my raging sweet tooth. They are high in healthy fat so I ONLY have 1 or 2 on days when I’m really fighting the urge to eat 3 slices of cake.
And let me tell you, I have an EXTREME sweet tooth and fat bombs have been the ONLY thing that calms it down.
Keto-Friendly Sweetener
If you’re using these as part of your Keto-diet and not just as an appetite suppressor (which is how I use them) then you’ll want to use a Keto-friendly sweetener. Now depending on who you ask, some folks say that agave and pure maple are keto-friendly. I’m not even getting into that debate!
There are so many different fat bomb flavors and recipes floating around the web but peanut butter chocolate is by far my favorite fat bomb flavor! I’ve seen some recipes use avocado but this one uses coconut oil. It curbs the appetite like a boss! Not to mention, coconut oil does so many other wonderful things for your body so what’s not to love?
Why Coconut Oil is THE BOMB!!
- Helps the body fight off disease and viruses, including yeast, fungus, and candida.
- Boosts and restores thyroid function and control blood sugar.
- Lowers bad cholesterol
- Helps the body burn energy, abdominal fat.
- Balances hormones, moods.
- A zillion other things
You have to keep these peanut butter chocolate fat bombs in the fridge since they begin to melt at room temperature. Whenever you are having an intense sugar craving or feeling a bit hungry in between meals or snacks, pop one of these babies! They simply melt on the tongue and are pretty darn satisfying.
Now let me tell ya, the first time I had a fat bomb I wasn’t really all that impressed. I guess I was expecting some intense milk chocolatey tasting truffle. Just don’t go in expecting Godiva and you’ll be just fine.
Also a quick note, you may feel a bit uneasy on the tummy if eating these on an empty stomach. It’s from the coconut oil and will settle very quickly.
Wait!! Don’t trash it!
I wish someone had told me this the first time I made fat bombs. The mixture won’t taste all that great while you’re making them. Remember this isn’t a candy bar. I threw away the first batch because it really tasted…just ok. Don’t do that! Go ahead and follow through with the recipe. They taste a bit sweeter once they are set.

Vegan Almond Butter Peanut Butter Cups
Has anyone ever tried using peanut butter powder?
This is the first time I have made Fat Bombs and they are delicious. I used Stevia to sweeten and I’m so satisfied. Thanks for sharing.
Mine turned out very bitter. I used liquid stevia. What did I do wrong?
I want to make these, they look really good but can I subtract the peanut butter and almond butter . Or use half of the measurement in the recipe and it still come out tasty ?
Can you use raw honey instead of agave?
I got 22 tablespoon full molds and almost a 23rd.
I used stevia instead of agave.
Macros from myfitnesspal.com were…
cal – 83
Fat – 7.7
Carbs – 3.5
Protein 1.2
This is a lot of carbs for a treat, but my fitness pal doesn’t take net carbs (the subtraction of fiber) into account. Cocoa has 1g fiber and peanut has 2g fiber (6 carbs/serving) so I’m not sure what the NET CARBS will be. 🙁
I plugged in the exact recipient on MyFitnessPal app, went to my food diary and just tapped on the name. It showed the carbs and the fiber amount. All together it was 3.6 g net carbs per serving hope that helped a bit.
I’m curious how we find the Marcos in these individually? I added butter and the cocoa was regular
I’d love to figure out the net carbs too. I also used stevia and got about 20-22 bombs. But I’ve been eating them like crazy 🙁 Not sure I should ever make them again. They are/were delicious!!!
Thank you, this is so helpful!
You can subtract the fiber from the total carbs to get your net carbs. An easy way to do that on myfitness pal is to go to the “nutrition” tab and then the “nutrients” tab and then subtract the fiber from total carbs through out the day to make sure you stay under your goal.
Net carbs= total carbs – fiber. If 3.5 was total from fitnesspal then net would be 0.5
How much Stevia
did you use???
That would be roughly .5 carbs/serving if those calculations are correct.
If you search for a food in myfitnesspal and add “net carbs” at the end it will find the nutrients for that specific food and subtract the fiber and sugar alcohols from the carb count.
how much stevia did you use?
So how much Stevia should I start with as a substitute.? Maybe I missed it somewhere, but do not want to ruin these.Thsnk you
These are absolutely delicious…my only question is that I froze mine but they were half melted by the time I could get them out of the moulds…how did you stabilize yours? Would it have been better to put them in the refrigerator?
In MFP if you type in net carbs after the item it will add it when available!! I do it all the time!
