Almond Coconut Fat Bomb

Almond Joy candy bars were among my least favorite to get on Halloween as a kid.

Growing up, I was really picky with what I ate. Coconut wasn’t a flavor that enticed me, and I wasn’t particularly fond of the texture either.

Years later with a more refined, sophisticated palate, and it was time to update the classic combination of almond and coconut in fat bomb form without all the added sugar.

If you are not compelled by the science of keto, just know that fat is flavor. That’s why you can hit on health and food enjoyment.

These faux “Almond Joy” fat bombs are a classic example.
