How to Make Fat Bombs
Typically, fat bombs are made by melting or heating an oil, such as coconut oil, until it's a liquid. Then, you add flavorings and binding ingredients, like coconut milk or nut butters. Sweeteners, like stevia, erythritol, or monkfruit may be used if these fat bombs will be on the sweeter side. Once all combined, pour the keto bomb mixture into molds or small candy cups, then pop them in the fridge or freezer to harden.

Dairy-Free Keto and Vegan Chocolate Fat Bombs
If don't eat dairy but do eat keto, fat bombs might seem difficult, as you can't use dairy as a source of fat or calories.

But you can use almond butter and coconut oil instead, which gives fat bombs a luscious, creamy texture without compromising your diet and digestion. And the vegan chocolate has plenty of sweetness, too! Each ball is super low-calorie, with just 116 calories each.
