Chocolate Macadamia Fat Bombs

Heather Hartman Health

These fat bombs are made with carob powder, but cacao works as well! ⁠
⁠
What's Carob?
Carob has a "chocolatey" taste, but has zero caffeine. It’s high fat, high fiber, and low sugar. It can be subbed 1:1 for cacao powder, but is sweeter than cacao, and not as sweet as cocoa (it has a higher carb/sugar content than cacao, but less than cocoa). I tend to add less other natural sweeteners when I use carob!
⁠
This is a GREAT alternative for anyone sensitive to caffeine/sugar, or those who get tummy aches when eating chocolate/cocoa. ⁠

*omit the Mac topping for a healthier nut butter cup!
