    These No-Bake Keto Chocolate Macadamia Nut Fat Bombs are the perfect gluten-free & keto dessert or snack. Plus, you have 2 chocolate coating options to choose from based on how sweet you prefer them and how many carbs you want them to have!

    These Keto Macadamia Nut Fat Bombs are easy to make, don't require any baking, and are the perfect treat.

    They can be made with 2 different chocolate coatings, and both are great!

    1. Chocolate coating #1 uses melted Keto chocolate chips with a little coconut oil.
    2. Coating #2 uses cocoa powder, coconut oil, vanilla, and keto sweetener.

    The first coating is a little sweeter with slightly more carbs. This is the version my kids prefer because they love their sweets!

    The second coating is lower in carbs and not quite as sweet, but still really good! Plus, this option is great if you don't have any chocolate chips on hand or don't want to go buy any.

    Choose whichever version works best for your taste buds and diet.

    The sweetener

    For the sweetener, I prefer to use allulose, monk fruit, or xylitol. All three of these sweeteners dissolve really well and taste just like sugar!

    Keep in mind that if you use allulose, that allulose is only 70% as sweet as other sweeteners. So for every 1 cup of sugar, you'll need to use 1 ⅓ cup of allulose.

    I don’t recommend using an erythritol-based sweetener unless it's powdered, otherwise, it will be grainy.

    Liquid stevia is another option. However, depending on the brand, it may leave a slightly bitter aftertaste and you may need to use quite a bit. Because of this, I tend not to use this option or I use it in combination with another sweetener.

    How to melt chocolate

    If using coating #1, you'll need to melt some keto-friendly chocolate chips with coconut oil.

    Don't skip the coconut oil! It will help the chocolate harden when cooled and stabilize the chocolate.

    If you heat the chocolate too fast or unevenly it will get hard and lumpy. Because of this, I recommend melting it in a double-boiler or in intervals in the microwave.

    You can easily make your own double-boiler by placing a large, heatproof bowl over a small saucepan of boiling water. Then, add the chocolate to the heatproof bowl and stir it until it’s fully melted.

    If you choose to melt it in the microwave, start by heating it for 30 seconds then stir the chocolate very well. After that, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted.

    Drizzle the chocolate over the macadamia nuts and place in the freezer until set, 30 minutes to an hour.

    Store covered in the fridge for one to two weeks or freeze up to 6 months.

    Ingredients

    • ½ Cup Macadamia Nuts

    Chocolate Coating #1 (sweeter, higher carb version):

    • 2 Cup Keto Chocolate chips - or preferred chocolate chips
    • 2 tablespoon Coconut Oil

    Chocolate Coating #2 (less sweet, lower-carb version):

    • 1 Cup Cocoa Powder
    • 1 Cup Coconut Oil
    • Keto Sweetener - to taste, see notes below (I use about 3-4 tablespoon xylitol, monk fruit, or allulose)
    • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Line a mini muffin tin with 24 muffin cups.
    • Evenly divide the macadamia nuts between the muffin cups, around 5 or 6 nuts each.
    • Prepare one of the chocolate coatings below then evenly divide over the nuts (about ½ Tbsp. of chocolate coating #1 and 1 Tbsp. of chocolate coating #2).
    • Place in the freezer until set up, around 30 minutes to an hour.
    • Store covered in the fridge for one to two weeks or freeze in a freezer-safe baggie for up to 6 months.

    Chocolate Coating #1:

    • Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwaveable-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds then stir. Then, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate chips are completely melted. If you prefer not to use a microwave, heat chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a bowl of boiling water, being careful that the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir continuously until melted.  

    Chocolate Coating #2:

    • Add the coconut oil, cocoa powder, and xylitol, monk fruit sweetener, or allulose into a medium-sized saucepan (if using stevia, do not add at this time). Heat over medium heat until coconut oil is melted and sweetener is dissolved. Then, stir in the vanilla and stevia, if using.

    Nutritional Info is for Chocolate Coating #2. If using coating #1 the nutritional info is as follows:
    Calories: 83 Carbs: 8 Dietary Fiber: 7 Fat: 8 Protein: 1
    • There are 2 different chocolate coatings to choose from. The first chocolate coating uses melted chocolate chips with a little coconut oil. The second coating is a simple mixture of cocoa powder, coconut oil, vanilla, and keto sweetener. This makes them less sweet and super low carb - the perfect keto fat bombs.

      If I wanted to make these non-keto, what do I use regular milk chocolate or semi sweet chips? As well as the coconut oil. We used to get these from Swiss colony and I’m trying to make them for my stepfather. And all I can find are keto recipes. Which is fine just not his thing.

        Hi Cassanda!

        You can use whichever chocolate chips you prefer! And since you're using the version with chocolate chips, you can replace the coconut oil with butter if you'd like. I hope this helps and your stepfather likes them!!!
