Did you know? Coconut oil helps burn fat! Let's harness that metabolism-boosting power by making 4-ingredient chocolate coconut candy! Although you can deck these easy fat bombs out with all sorts of sweet treats (honey, dried fruit, cacao nibs), the basic recipe is perfect for keto and low carb lifestyles. It's sweetened with stevia, completely sugar-free, and no bake! Whip up a batch in 10 minutes flat and you won't have to rely on store bought desserts ever again!
Gently melt coconut oil in a double boiler or in a heat-safe bowl over a pan of boiling water. I often melt small amounts of coconut oil right in my stainless steel measuring cups on my electric stove burner.
Once melted (it's okay if there are still a few lumps), remove bowl of coconut oil from heat and add cocoa powder, vanilla, sweetener, and salt.
Choose your mold: either a small cookie sheet or baking pan, silicone candy molds, or silicone muffin liners.
If using candy molds or muffin liners, add optional add-ins (see below) then evenly divide chocolate mixture among all the molds. If using a cookie sheet or other flat surface pour the chocolate mixture into the pan then evenly sprinkle the add-ins over the chocolate.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Coconut oil-based candy melts easily, so if you'd like to pack them for an on-the-go snack or treat, keep them cool in an insulted lunch tote with ice pack.
*This recipe will make approximately 24 candies in mini silicone muffin liners. Your yield will vary according to the molds you use and how full you fill them.
*For Trim Healthy Mamas: When adding dehydrated fruits keep plan guidelines in mind. Berries are fine with S foods, but any other fruits would make the candy a big Crossover/off plan since dried fruits are not encouraged on plan. Adding nuts, fruits, or dairy will make these candies not suitable for Deep S (or Keto). The basic recipe is great for Deep S and Keto, however. Use stevia, xylitol, or erythritol (or a combination) to sweeten. Occasional use of honey or maple syrup is OK in maintenance mode or if you rarely eat sweets. If struggling with weight loss avoid using these sweeteners.
*Grind any granulated sweeteners into a fine powder first to prevent grainy or gritty texture.
