    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    Hi guys! Lindsay here from over at That's Low Carb?! Happy to be here today to share with you one of those simple recipes that have won over the hearts of my entire family.

    We've been making these for the past month as they are SO easy to whip together, are entirely flourless and are the perfect combination of sweet and satisfying.

    I love fat bombs in general. They are the perfect treat when you are trying to stick to your macros. I know people who swear fat bombs are what kick them into ketosis, like with our Fat Bomb Pork Chops.

    Our family personally doesn't go into such details as some will ( our main goal was for the family to lower their blood sugars) but something we do know is that these little Orange Fudge Fat Bombs actually completely satisfy our cravings. I even find myself just bitting one in half and that curbs all cravings.

    In reality, chocolate and orange just go together.. you can never go wrong with that flavor combo, right??

    Ingredients you'll need for these Orange Fudge Fat Bombs

    • Butter - what are fat bombs without the fat! We had butter on hand when we've last made these but we have made it with coconut oil in the past and that is a lovely dairy-free alternative to use for this recipe.
    • Cocoa Powder - this is how we make these fat bombs flourless! Good ole' cocoa powder. We personally prefer the unsweetened cocoa but if you'd like to make these extra chocolatey you can use special dark cocoa powder!
    • Powdered 'Sugar' - We used powdered swerve for this recipe. You can use other sweeteners such as Taryn's sweetener, be sure to check out our low carb sweeteners guide to help convert.
    • Orange Extract - this is what we used to keep the carbs low.

    Tips for Fat Bombs - Make your own powdered sweetener

    Did you know you can turn any favorite granular sugar into powdered just be pulsing in the blender?

    It's a hack we've been doing for some time now when we can't quickly get our hands on powdered swerve. We almost always have granular erythritol in the cabinet. Quickly pulsing in the blender (very very dry blender) for 2-3 minutes will turn the granular sugar into powder!

    Note on the very very dry blender. You really want to make sure your blender is dry and there is no moisture hiding in there after a wash. It'll make the transition to powdered sugar really difficult.

    How to Make Fat Bombs

    When you are stirring the mixture together you'll want the dough to easily form a dough ball when you are rolling it. If the mixture is dry and crumbly I've found adding 1 Tablespoon of water to the mixture will help form it right up.

    Now I find that if you let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes the dough will harden a bit even more as the butter cools down. I personally don't like waiting though.

    So if you are impatient like me simply roll the fat bombs right away. They should be solid but when you place onto the counter the bottoms will flatten a bit. Simply pop in the fridge for 5 minutes, roll again make them fully round and pop back into the fridge for storage.

    Now if you really don't care if the bottoms of your fat bombs are flat don't worry at all! Simply roll and pop in the fridge for storage.

    Can I use a different flavor of extract?

    Of course! If you'd like fudge fat bombs minus the orange extract go for it! They'll taste like little chocolate fudge bites of heaven. You can also sub in peppermint extract, caramel extract, vanilla, add in a little cinnamon or anything else you can think of!

      Following the recipe, mine came out with an over-powering taste of plain cocoa. They were bitter and not sweet enough. I had to keep adding sweetener, pretty much double, and then more water, to get them to a state that anyone in my family could eat them. Still not much of a fan, but it does give you that chocolate taste if needed.2 stars

      Giving it three stars,, for starters. I'll use this as a jumping-off place for experimenting. They really don't hold together. I added some coconut oil, but still had to mash to make balls, which still had a somewhat gritty mouth feel & shed staining crumbs. I did use powdered sugar. They were a bit bitter. I was sad to hear someone threw hers out. You could still use them for hot chocolate or throw half of one in your coffee. I'd likely add more butter next time, and or heavy cream, & maybe cook it all on very low heat to get rid of the grit factor. The orange extract didn't really stand up to the overwhelming chocolate. I think orange zest (or tangerine, lemon, or lime) would add a nice citrusy zing. They will be very intense, one way or another.
      Thanks for sharing this creative effort. The world needs more FAT BOMBS!3 stars

      I would like to try this recipe, but I wonder why all these fat bombs recipes say to put powdered sugar. I’m thinking of using coconut sugar, but granulated. Would it change the flavor that much? Thank you. Greetings

        It will change the flavor slightly but will change the texture more. Coconut sugar will make them gritty. I'd blend that to powder first.

      I made these for the first time and they were excellent; however, I made a few adjustments.

      I made a one batch with McCormick Orange Extract and another with McCormick Peppermint Extract. For both batches I used brown sugar as my sweetener because I lacked the Monk Fruit or Swerve sweetener I wanted to use. I did not add orange zest, but plan to do so next time.

      In order to make the batter moldable I had to add 4.5 teaspoons of water. The dash was just not enough.

      Next time I plan to experiment with adding more butter, reducing water, and trying new extracts.

      I hope this is helpful. Thanks for a great recipe!5 stars

      I dont know what I did wrong. Seemed like an easy recipe. They were so awful and bitter I had to throw out. I'm sure it is something I did wrong because the other reviews are great.

        Which sweetener did you use? Some sweeteners are bitter.
