Chocolate Macadamia Fat Bombs
Heather Hartman HealthShare
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!

- Line a cupcake tin with 8 liners.
Whisk the melted coconut oil, carob, and maple together in a large measuring cup with a spout.
Pour the mixture into each liner, about a quarter of an inch high.
