Keto Mocha Fat Bombs



I usually make these treats with carob powder instead of cocoa so I can enjoy them in the evening without the caffeine :)

1 cup organic, cold pressed coconut oil
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or carob powder for no caffeine)
1 tsp Stevita stevia
2 tbs organic coffee powder
½ tsp organic cinnamon powder
½ tsp sea salt
1-2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: ¼ to ½ cup grass-fed butter and chopped macadamia nuts

1. Put all ingredients in small saucepan and heat until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly.
2. Optional: after heating, mix in blender for smooth consistency.
3. Pour mixture into silicone molds or glass dish.
4. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until firm.
5. Garnish with sea salt and enjoy!
6. Note: Keep in fridge to avoid melting.
