I really love candy and it's especially hard around the holidays that center around a basket full of candy.
So I decided to make some candy for myself this year. And to make them more keto friendly I made them into chocolate fat bombs with extra buttery centers. These recipes are just guidelines really because it all depends on the molds you have. You may need more or less chocolate to make your shells and coat the tops of the candies. The filling is the important part and you are just going to use as much chocolate as needed to make little candies.
You can also just pour the fillings into fat bomb molds then top with some melted chocolate, easy peasy.
Store in the fridge to keep them nice and solid or in the freezer. Below is 6 filling recipes with different chocolate coatings. I used 3 different molds, the eggs are kind of a big for fat bombs, so I usually cut them in half. But they looked really nice in the picture but are kind of high in carbs for one egg. If I were doing these just for myself I would probably just put them all in mini muffin cups like I did for the dark chocolate orange ones.
Easter Candy Extravaganza!!!
The dark chocolate orange are sooo delicious, creamy and orangey. Orange chocolate is probably my favorite flavored chocolate. Usually in Buffalo for Easter we would have orange chocolate sponge candy but I have failed many attempts at keto sponge candy but I'm not giving up! LOL Hopefully I will get it soon. Until then try these guys out if you enjoy orange chocolate.

Reese's eggs are my favorite candy for Easter besides sponge candy. Missed them terribly last year because I went keto in April. Made these in the egg molds I bought but they are a little bigger. Be careful you don't over indulge because they are so delicious you may get carried away, if you're anything like me. But make them, you will not be disappointed!

Love caramel filled things and I was so happy when I figured out a keto caramel sauce. But if you just up the butter and minus some heavy cream of my caramel recipe you will get a stiffer, chewy caramel, perfect for the center of a fat bomb! If you want a video to see when to add the cream and butter, check out my keto hot cocoa bomb video where I made caramel.
Keto Salted Caramel Fat Bomb
Keto Caramel Center: Made 30 1/2 inch balls only need 12
1 Cup Powder Allulose
2 Tbs. Water
1 Tbs. Heavy cream
4 Tbs. Butter
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Place Allulose into a heavy bottom sauce pot then add water around the edge of the pot to try to alleviate any crystals forming around the pan.
2. Cook on medium- low heat once dissolved if you see crystals forming on top, which you probably will, place a snug lid on top for 1-2 minutes until there are no more crystals on top of the liquid.
3. Cook until it is an amber color and it looks like honey. Have the heavy cream, butter and vanilla ready to go.
4. When the sugar has reached an amber color turn off the heat and add the heavy cream. It will bubble up so be careful and stir to combine.
5. Add butter and vanilla and stir to combine.
6. Pour into a vessel of choice, I used little fat bomb circle puck molds and place in freezer
7. Once solid cut into little chunks with kitchen scissors and roll into small 1/2 inch balls and place back into the freezer until needed

I wanted to make some white chocolate eggs to make pretty colored eggs for Easter. And I had some snickerdoodle cookies I thought would make a good crunchy bit to a fat bomb. Plus I bought some Perfect Keto cinnamon toast collagen powder I want to experiment with. So white chocolate cinnamon fat bomb were born. It is delicious but a little high in carbs, so I suggest making smaller ones or cutting the big eggs in half. Plus white chocolate is pretty sweet, so I usually can't eat a lot at once.

Brown butter is delicious and I love any excuse to put it in something. But that part is optional it just gives a nutty buttery flavor to your fat bombs. You can do this with any fat bomb that calls for butter to add another layer of flavor. Macadamia nuts are a great keto nut to add to fat bomb because they are low in carbs and high in good fats. And they go great with white chocolate.
