My Favorite Fatbombs

I have mentioned Fatbombs. I love them. To me they are like candy treats but Guilt Free. They are NOT 6 week approved but they are definitely Keto approved. Less then 1 gram of carb each.

I have tried a few different ones. Most are made with a base of coconut oil or a base of cream cheese.

My favorites are Faux Reeses.

 This is the site I got the recipe from, which I modified, mostly outta necessity.

The original recipe called for Almond Butter. I have made them with almond butter and they were delish, but almond butter is a bit pricey.  I am a Peanut butter lover and always have jars of it in my closet.  So I make them with Peanut Butter. Also the original recipe called for 9 tbs of butter, that is a stick and 1 tbsp, I can't afford  it,  ( I make about 2 batches of these a month ) and honestly the recipe didn't suffer by my removing it.

To me these lil goblets of goodness are just what I need some days.

The Molds I use I bought at the Dollar Store. They are Halloween  pumpkins, skulls, and spiders. The spiders are a bit bigger so I generally just use the skulls and pumpkins. After filling the molds I place them on this tray and in the freezer for 30 mins to firm up and then I pop them out into a covered storage container and keep them  in the fridge.

MMMMMMMMMMM CHOCOLATE!  

There are 2 ways of making these. Incorporate the peanut butter in all the ingredients or "inject" the PB separately. The second way gives it a more reeses flair. The pb in reeses I suspect is mixed with a floury base, In the fatbomb it is just PB in chocolate.. all ooey gooey.

To do so just drop a tiny bit of chocolate in the mold and a tiny bit of PB then cover with chocolate. Too much work for such a tiny lil mold. I prefer to mix it all together.

Also she uses liquid stevia, and I only keep powder on hand so I changed that up. This is where your taste buds come into play. I start with a 1/4 cup powdered stevia blend, ( I have a sweet tooth)  then taste it. If you want it sweeter just add a lil more sweetner to suit your taste.

I have also experimented adding a lil cracked salt to the top after pouring it into the mold which I love. One time I tried dusting cinnamon on top as well before freezing.... Yum.

CHOCOLATE PB FATBOMBS:

3/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter
1/4 cup powdered Stevia blend ( Stevia and erythritol)

Mix all Except Salt, spices) in a mixing cup with a pour spout , like a pyrex and microwave for about 30 secs.  Stir and taste for sweetness. 
Pour into silicone molds ( Salt or dust with spice) and place on tray in freezer for 30 mins.
Pop out and put in covered container and store in fridge.

Cravings And Fatbombs

I have been craving today especially , well lately but today yes, No matter what I just couldn't shake it. I have been eating my choc PB fatbombs and I would be satisfied for an hour or so but then it would start up again.

Tonight I was picking at my "candies" and I spotted the new jar of pickles. I opened them and drank some of the brine and popped another candy. I am satisfied.
It dawned on me, I salt my chocolate fatbombs before I freeze them to set . I kept craving them cause they had salt.
My body was in need of sodium. I have been drinking water by the gallons and pissing like a racehorse.

Although we can't have salt on this plan I am not doing it POP. And if I were I would have to make concessions. I crave choc, and PB as well. My body is deficient in magnesium and must supplement but I don't always have the money.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.....

Here is the Page I got the Fatbombs from.  I modify it by subbing PB for almond butter and only using 4 tablespoons of butter, sometimes I skip the butter if I am out. I use powdered Stevia instead of Liquid.

3/4 cup melted coconut oil
9.5 Tbs. (150g) almond butter ( PB)
60 drops (about 3/8 tsp.) liquid Stevia
3 Tbs. cocoa
9 Tbs. melted salted butter ( 4 TB or None)

I use silicon molds I got at the dollar store at halloween. Each bomb is less then 1 carb, so it is almost a freebie, and since coconut oil is an MCT it won't cling to my Butt.
