Fat Bombs
OK... So, some of you may be wondering... what the heck are fat bombs?
Fat bombs are often used by people who are following a low carb high fat or ketogenic diet. Sometimes it can be tricky to get enough of the correct fats into a LCHF diet (without the oft added carbs), and this is especially true when travelling or eating out in our "carb bombed" environment.
I will keep adding recipes as I find them.
*** Try VERY hard not to add honey, raisins or anything sugary to your bombs. This will negate the entire idea of using fat bombs in the first place.

Almond Bombs
3/4 cup melted coconut oil
9.5 Tbs. (150g) almond butter
60 drops (about 3/8 tsp.) liquid Stevia
3 Tbs. cocoa
8 Tbs. (1 stick) melted salted butter
Pour a scant 2 Tbs. into each of 24 candy or mini muffin molds. I use a silicone candy mold that I bought at Michael's Crafts. If you prefer, you can use paper mini muffin cups, lined up on a cookie sheet.
Place candy mold on a small cookie sheet first, fill, then freeze. Be sure to use the cookie sheet.
Freeze for at least 30 minutes, then pop out the bombs and store them in a bag or other container in the freezer.

Lemon Bombs
4 oz cream cheese, softened
4 Tb butter, softened (1/2 stick)
4 Tb coconut oil
2 Tb sour cream
4 tsp lemon juice
4 tsp sweetener of choice
Start by creaming together the cream cheese and butter, then add other ingredients one at a time and mix well in between.
I like mine sweet/sour, so you may have to adjust your flavors to your taste. I use a silicone candy mold that I bought at Michael's Crafts, which yields about 18 bombs.
Freeze until firm, pop out and freeze or refrigerate.
