Homemade Chocolate Candy

In the low carb world, we call candy Fat bombs.  The reason is if you need some more fat, you can just eat a couple of these.  Or if you are still hungry after a meal, have 1 or 2.  These are also great to take with you to a party so you have some fats to munch on or healthy desert so to speak.  Every party I have been to always had a lot of sugar laden deserts with a lot of gluten in it.   This is a guilt free desert full of fat! 
Here is what you need-
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (solid at room temp)
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 2 Tbsp any sweetener you desire.  I used liquid stevia in this.  You can add more or less depending on how sweet you like this.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract(gives it a nice vanilla flavor)
  • 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream

In a sauce pan, melt the coconut oil.  Then remove from heat.  Add all of your other ingredients and  whisk until mixed evenly.  It does not take very long.

Pour into silicone molds and put in the fridge.  It should be hardened into candy within the hour.
