I am going to make a batch of fat bombs to take along. I am also going to take the rest of the coconut bars (if the kids and hubby don't finish them first!

[athomeontherange]

Chris- Although there are many fat bomb recipes I kind of flubbed my way through. Make sure you write down how you made them so we can copy of course!

ok, I just remembered that I bought almond butter specifically to make fat bombs. I made them, but don't love the taste of cocoa powder in them. I even cooked the coconut milk, oil, and cocoa powder and it still had the taste of un cooked cocoa. So I will have to experiment. The recipe I used is from "Until the Fat lady sings" but I ran short of coconut and I doubled the stevia (I like sweet). So I need to experiment. I think I want to go with mostly a coconut flavor, like the inside of mounds bars.

p.s. the coconut bars are much better once they spent the night in the fridge. I think you could figure out a way to sub out coconut flour for the almond meal for the base. These are pretty much fat bombs too.

i like the coconut butter/cream cheese combo. i want to play with some peppermint oil with them, as well as orange and lemon. I really like the used up cocoa nibs from the brewed cocoa beans as well. It gives it that bit of crunch you are probably used to with nuts.

[demuralist]

do you buy coconut butter? and where did you get the nibs? You are getting quite creative girly!

[athomeontherange]

I did buy the coconut butter. However, I pinned a recipe on making your own coconut butter. The nibs I bought from Amazon. They are roasted cocoa nibs. I think I have seen them at the larger health food stores. I would be surprised if TJ's or some such place did not carry them. As for being creative, I sometimes think I am just desperate. LOL I miss the crunch of nuts but not enough to die over them. The nibs give me the satisfaction.

2T of the nibs is like 120 calories, negligible fat and carbs. I thought if I put 2 T in a small container that those moments at school where I am candy scavenging, crunching on one of those small pieces would give me the crunch and chocolate I crave without the sweet and sabotaging.

never mind, I just saw your pin for the recipe.

Ok here is a question. I went to our group for EMF recipes. and one of the members had requested to be friends. So I went to look them up, and where it says for every one else "senior member" or "member" under her/him it says "banned" any idea what that means? This person posted a new discussion in the discussion group that did not include a recipe, I was thinking I would go ahead and delete it. What do you think?

[athomeontherange]

I would say if he has banned on his title, there is a reason for this. I say it would be ok to delete it. Who is it?

[demuralist]

I don't think I can delete a member, just the discussion. If you go to the group page, and click view all members, you should be able to see it.
